Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in New Lenox cost?

A 4-week campaign at New Lenox 14 costs between $3,472 and $6,944, depending on ad length and placement. The area's median household income of $133,071 puts it in Tier 1 pricing, with CPM rates of $70 to $85.

What kinds of businesses advertise at movie theaters in New Lenox?

Common advertisers include restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, home services, real estate agencies, and financial services firms. The New Lenox audience skews toward established, high-income households, making it a strong fit for brands with higher price points or services targeting families and homeowners in the southwest Chicago suburbs.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film begins, in a pre-show block that plays to a seated, captive audience. Lobby placements are also available, including digital displays and static signage. On-screen pre-show advertising delivers attention ratings 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.

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

Cinema draws a younger median audience (age 30) than Netflix, Hulu, or NFL broadcasts. In New Lenox, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so traditional TV buys miss most of them entirely. Attention metrics for cinema run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and outperform both CTV and YouTube in documented studies.

How long does a campaign need to run to see results?

Most advertisers start with a 4-week campaign, the standard booking unit. That length gives you consistent exposure across multiple showtimes and audience segments across New Lenox 14's 14 screens. Cinema campaigns have produced measurable results: a 34% increase in auto dealership foot traffic and a 53% lift in incremental retail visits.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at New Lenox 14?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept ads for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates and causes. These restrictions apply regardless of local ordinances or campaign budget. If your business falls outside these categories, approval is straightforward and campaigns can typically be up and running within a few weeks of creative submission.
