Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Lexington, MO cost?

A 4-week campaign at Cannonball 6 runs between $492 and $984, depending on the number of screens and ad frequency selected. Lexington is a Tier 3 market with CPMs ranging from $37 to $45. Because there is only one theater in the city, a single-theater budget and a citywide budget are the same.

What types of businesses advertise at Cannonball 6?

Local service businesses, regional retailers, restaurants, healthcare providers, auto dealers, and real estate professionals all advertise regularly in small-market cinema. Auto advertisers have documented a 34% lift in foot traffic from cinema campaigns; retail brands have seen 53% more incremental visits. If your business targets Lexington-area consumers, the format works.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film, during the preshow that every ticketed audience member watches. It's a full-screen, audio-on format with no skip option and no competing content. Some campaigns also include lobby placements, depending on the theater and package selected.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in a market like Lexington?

Local TV reaches a broad but fragmented audience, and streaming ads face skip rates and co-viewing clutter. Cinema delivers a single message to a seated, captive audience. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so cinema regularly reaches people your TV and streaming buys miss entirely.

How long should I run a campaign to see results?

A 4-week flight is the standard entry point and matches most film cycles at Cannonball 6. That window gives you enough frequency against the 12,000 estimated monthly impressions to build recognition. Advertisers with ongoing goals, like restaurants or service providers, often run consecutive 4-week campaigns to maintain a steady local presence.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Lexington movie theaters?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept creative for alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, or political campaigns. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of market tier. Most local businesses, professional services, healthcare, food and beverage (non-alcohol), education, and retail categories are fully eligible to advertise.
