Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to advertise at movie theaters in Napa?

A four-week cinema advertising campaign in Napa runs between $2,976 and $5,952, based on the city's Tier 1 market CPM of $70 to $85. Napa has one theater, so a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same thing: all 12 screens at Century Napa Valley and XD.

Who typically advertises in Napa movie theaters?

Local and regional businesses in auto, real estate, financial services, dining, retail, and hospitality are well-positioned to advertise here, given Napa's median household income of $102,231. National brands use cinema in Napa to reach the broader San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose market. The audience's income and education levels make it a natural fit for premium and lifestyle advertisers.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film as part of the pre-show program. Every person in the auditorium sees your ad on a large-format screen with full sound. No skip buttons, no second-screen distractions, no ad blockers. Cinema delivers attention ratings 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming for reaching Napa audiences?

Cinema reaches a younger audience than most TV or streaming options. The median moviegoer age nationally is 30, and 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so they're largely unavailable through traditional cable buys. Napa's median age is 41.2, which means cinema fills a real gap in the media mix by pulling in audiences that broadcast and streaming routinely miss.

How long should a cinema advertising campaign run in Napa?

A standard campaign runs four weeks, matching typical film cycles and giving your message enough frequency to build recall. Brands with ongoing awareness goals often run campaigns across multiple four-week flights. At 38,400 estimated monthly impressions in Napa, a consistent schedule adds up fast.

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

Yes. Cinema advertising networks do not accept ads for alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, or political candidates and ballot measures. These restrictions apply at Century Napa Valley and XD and across the broader network. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema is not a viable channel regardless of budget or campaign goals.
