A 4-week campaign at Legends 14 runs between $1,148 and $2,296, depending on ad placement, screen count, and daypart selection. The CPM range is $37 to $45. Since Legends 14 is the only theater in the city, the single-theater and citywide campaign prices are identical. Your entire local cinema buy comes down to one package.
Common advertisers include local restaurants and QSR chains, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, financial services, retail stores, and entertainment venues. The cinema audience skews younger than most TV audiences, with a median age of 30. That makes it a practical choice for brands targeting adults aged 18 to 45, a group that traditional broadcast struggles to reach.
Cinema ads run as part of the pre-show on screen before the feature film. Placements include on-screen spots, lobby static displays, and digital lobby screens, depending on the package. On-screen spots deliver the highest attention of any format tested: 2 to 6 times higher than live sports, and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.
About 60% of moviegoers at Legends 14 are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, making them largely unreachable through cable TV. Streaming ads can be skipped and routinely ignored, but cinema ads run in a dark room with phones put away and no skip button. QSR campaigns in comparable markets have documented 2 to 3 times return on ad spend.
A standard campaign runs 4 weeks, the minimum needed to build frequency with a moviegoing audience. Some advertisers extend to 8 or 12 weeks to align with seasonal traffic or product launches. With an estimated 28,000 monthly impressions available in Kansas City, KS, a single 4-week flight can deliver real reach at this market size.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are restricted from cinema placements at most theaters. Some restrictions vary by theater policy or the audience rating of the films running alongside your ad. Alluvit Media reviews all creative for compliance before a campaign goes live to confirm your ad qualifies for placement.
