Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in McKinney cost?

A 4-week campaign at Cinemark 14 costs between $1,797 and $3,594, depending on screen count and placement type. That price reflects a Tier 1 CPM of $70 to $85 per thousand impressions, applied against an estimated 36,506 monthly moviegoer impressions across 14 screens.

What types of businesses advertise in McKinney movie theaters?

Common advertisers include restaurants, healthcare providers, auto dealers, financial services, real estate brands, and local retailers. At a median household income of $120,273, McKinney skews toward buyers making higher-consideration purchases, which makes it a strong fit for categories like auto and retail. Both have documented consistent lift results from cinema placements nationally.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run in the pre-show sequence on the big screen, typically within the 20 minutes before the feature film starts. The audience is seated and has no remote, no skip button, and no second screen. Attention scores for cinema run 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital formats.

How does cinema advertising compare to streaming or connected TV in this market?

Streaming audiences in DFW skew older and are increasingly ad-averse. Cinema moviegoers have a national median age of 30, with 60% being cord-cutters or cord-nevers who are hard to reach through traditional TV. Attention ratings for cinema outperform CTV and YouTube. Documented retail visit lift from cinema campaigns runs as high as 53% incremental visits.

How long does a campaign need to run to be effective?

A standard campaign runs in 4-week flights, giving enough frequency to build recall across McKinney's moviegoing audience. Many advertisers run back-to-back flights tied to seasonal promotions or product launches. Shorter runs are possible, but 4 weeks is the recommended minimum for measurable brand recall.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in McKinney theaters?

Yes. Cinema advertising through our network does not accept ads for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political campaigns. These restrictions apply regardless of local laws. If your business falls outside these categories, approval is straightforward and campaigns can typically go live within a few weeks of creative submission.
