City Population

Nicholasville, KY gives advertisers direct access to a growing Jessamine County community of 31,625 residents with a median household income of $67,514. One theater serves this market: Movie Tavern Brannon Crossing, with 13 screens and an estimated 26,000 monthly moviegoer impressions.

Cinema advertising here reaches audiences that traditional TV largely misses. About 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, and the median moviegoer age runs younger than streaming and broadcast audiences, around 30 years old. With a mean commute of nearly 25 minutes and a strong base of working families, Nicholasville moviegoers are the kind of local consumers most brands are trying to reach. A 4-week campaign at Movie Tavern Brannon Crossing runs $1,066 to $2,132, placing it in a Tier 3 CPM range of $37 to $45. For advertisers targeting the broader Lexington market, Nicholasville is a practical, cost-efficient extension.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to run an ad campaign in Nicholasville movie theaters?

A 4-week cinema advertising campaign at Movie Tavern Brannon Crossing runs between $1,066 and $2,132, depending on placement and format. The CPM range is $37 to $45, in line with Nicholasville's Tier 3 market status. With only one theater in the city, a single-theater buy and a citywide buy are the same investment.

What kinds of businesses advertise at Movie Tavern Brannon Crossing?

Local and regional businesses across many categories run cinema ads here: restaurants, healthcare providers, auto dealers, home services, fitness studios, and financial services. Nationally, QSR brands using cinema advertising have seen returns of 2 to 3 times their spend, and auto advertisers have recorded 34% increases in foot traffic.

Where exactly do the ads appear inside the theater?

Ads run on the screens before the feature film, during the pre-show program. The placement is full-screen, high-volume, and unskippable, reaching an audience that is already seated and paying attention. Cinema advertising scores 2 to 6 times higher attention ratings than live sports, and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital formats.

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

About 60% of moviegoers in national studies are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning a large share cannot be reached through cable TV at all. Cinema also outperforms CTV and YouTube on attention metrics. For local advertisers trying to reach residents who have moved away from traditional viewing, theater advertising fills a real gap.

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

Campaigns are structured in 4-week flights, the standard minimum. Many advertisers run multiple consecutive flights to build frequency, particularly when promoting a grand opening, seasonal offer, or local event. With 26,000 estimated monthly impressions across 13 screens, a single flight reaches a large share of Nicholasville moviegoers.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at this theater?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates and ballot measures. These restrictions apply in every market and theater. Most local and regional businesses, including restaurants, retail, healthcare, and professional services, are fully eligible to advertise.
