Which theaters can I advertise in?

The top venues in Minneapolis are Coon Rapids 16 and Southdale Ctr 16, with 32 screens between them. Run at one location to target a specific neighborhood or ZIP code, or buy both for broader reach across the Minneapolis-St. Paul market.

Who typically advertises at Minneapolis movie theaters?

Local and regional advertisers in auto, retail, healthcare, dining, financial services, and home services are the most common cinema advertisers. Minneapolis is a strong market for this format: median household income is $80,269 and 54.5% of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Nationally, cinema advertising has produced a +34% lift in auto foot traffic and +53% incremental retail visits.

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

Cinema delivers 2 to 6 times the attention of live sports and 6 to 16 times that of social or digital advertising. About 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so traditional TV simply doesn't reach them. With a median age of 33 in this city, cinema connects with audiences that most other platforms miss or can't hold.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at Minneapolis movie theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political ads are not accepted in cinema inventory. These restrictions apply regardless of theater location or campaign size. Advertisers in those categories will need to look at other channels. All other major verticals, including retail, auto, food service, healthcare, and finance, are eligible to run.

How long should a Minneapolis cinema campaign run?

A standard buy is 4 weeks, which aligns with typical film cycles and gives your creative enough exposure to build frequency. Campaigns can run longer for sustained awareness. With 76,800 monthly impressions across 32 screens in Minneapolis, a 4-week run at both theaters delivers real reach without overextending a regional budget.
