Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to advertise at a movie theater in Kirkland?

A 4-week campaign at Village at Totem Lake runs between $1,027 and $2,054, depending on ad format and the number of screens purchased. Kirkland is a Tier 2 market, with CPMs ranging from $47 to $60. There is one theater in the city, so a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same investment.

Who typically advertises in Kirkland movie theaters?

Common advertisers include local restaurants, auto dealerships, real estate agencies, financial services firms, healthcare providers, and retail brands. With a median household income of $143,533 and high education levels, Kirkland also attracts premium and lifestyle brands. National brands use cinema to reinforce broader campaigns, while local businesses use it to build awareness with a captive audience.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen during the pre-show segment before the feature film starts. Placements typically include the on-screen slideshow earlier in the pre-show loop and the full-motion video segment shown closer to showtime. Both formats reach audiences who are already seated, with no option to skip, scroll past, or mute the content.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in Kirkland?

Cinema delivers 2 to 6 times the attention of live sports, and 6 to 16 times that of social and digital platforms. About 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, putting them out of reach of traditional TV. In Kirkland, where the average commute runs 24.4 minutes, cinema is one of the few places where an audience is fully present and not splitting attention with anything else.

How long should a cinema ad campaign run in Kirkland?

A 4-week campaign is the standard starting point, and it aligns with typical film cycles. Four weeks builds meaningful frequency across the 19,200 estimated monthly impressions available in Kirkland. Advertisers with time-sensitive promotions, such as seasonal sales or event-driven offers, often run 2 to 4 week bursts timed around peak attendance periods.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Kirkland cinemas?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema ad inventory. These restrictions apply regardless of local laws or campaign type. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema placements in Kirkland are not available. All other major categories, including healthcare, finance, retail, food service, and automotive, are eligible.
