Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to advertise at a movie theater in Newport, KY?

A 4-week cinema advertising campaign at Wilder Stadium 14 runs between $1,148 and $2,296. The final cost depends on ad format, how many screens are included, and where your spot falls within the pre-show lineup. Newport is priced as a Tier 3 market with a CPM of $37 to $45, which makes it one of the more affordable entry points in the Cincinnati market.

How many people will actually see my ad?

Wilder Stadium 14 generates an estimated 28,000 moviegoer impressions per month across its 14 screens. These are in-seat, eyes-forward viewers in a dark room with no second-screen competition. Nationally, cinema audiences deliver attention scores 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social media placements.

What kinds of businesses advertise in Newport movie theaters?

Common advertisers include local restaurants, healthcare providers, auto dealerships, retail stores, real estate agencies, and financial services companies. Cinema has documented results across these categories: QSR brands see 2 to 3 times return on ad spend, auto advertisers report 34% increases in foot traffic, and retail sees 53% incremental store visits.

Where does my ad actually appear in the theater?

Ads run during the pre-show sequence, before trailers and the feature film. Depending on your package, placements can include on-screen spots in standard or premium positions, plus lobby digital displays at select locations. On-screen placements at Wilder Stadium 14 reach audiences who are already seated and paying attention.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise in Newport theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema ad inventory. These restrictions apply regardless of local laws or campaign type. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema placement is not an option. All other standard business categories are generally eligible.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming for reaching Newport residents?

Nationally, 60% of cinema audiences are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, which means movie theater ads reach people who are largely out of reach for traditional TV buys. Newport's median age is 40.4, but cinema audiences skew younger, closer to 30. That gap makes cinema a practical complement to broadcast and streaming, or a direct replacement for either.
