Northbrook, IL is one of the Chicago metro's most affluent suburbs, with a median household income of $155,321 and 73% of residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher. That kind of purchasing power makes it a compelling target for advertisers who want to reach decision-makers, not just eyeballs.
Northbrook Court 14 is the city's only cinema, generating an estimated 44,800 monthly moviegoer impressions across 14 screens. Audiences skew toward established professionals, with a median resident age of 49, though the cinema draws a younger, more diverse crowd than most local media channels. Sixty percent are cord-cutters, largely unreachable through traditional TV buys.
A 4-week cinema campaign in Northbrook runs $3,472 to $6,944, within the Tier 1 Chicago market CPM range of $70 to $85. For brands targeting high-income households in the northern suburbs, it's a focused, high-attention format worth serious consideration.
Real ranges for a 4-week :30 campaign. Final pricing depends on theaters selected, seasonality, and the 2026 film slate.
