Frequently asked questions

How much does cinema advertising in Oak Brook cost?

A single-theater 4-week campaign runs $992 to $5,952, depending on screen count and placement. A citywide campaign covering both Oakbrook 12 and Oakbrook Center 4 runs $3,968 to $7,936 for the same 4-week window. Oak Brook is part of the Tier 1 Chicago market, with CPMs between $70 and $85.

What kinds of businesses advertise at Oak Brook movie theaters?

Common advertisers include luxury auto dealers, financial services firms, upscale dining establishments, real estate companies, healthcare providers, and retail brands. With a median household income of $171,123 and a highly educated audience, this market is well-suited for advertisers targeting high-net-worth consumers.

Where exactly do the ads appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film, during the pre-show segment, reaching a seated audience that isn't scrolling past your message. Placement options can also include lobby screens and other in-venue formats. On-screen pre-show ads consistently outperform digital and social placements on attention metrics, with documented ratings 6 to 16 times higher than those channels.

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

Roughly 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so TV and cable buys simply miss them. Cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and beat both CTV and YouTube. In Oak Brook, where the audience skews older and more established, cinema fills or replaces broadcast reach without the fragmentation that comes with streaming.

Are there any industries that cannot advertise at Oak Brook theaters?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of local regulations. Financial services, healthcare, home services, retail, and dining advertisers are all eligible, and those categories see the most activity in markets like Oak Brook.

How long does a typical campaign run, and how quickly can it launch?

The standard campaign length is 4 weeks, matching typical film cycles and giving your ad consistent exposure. Campaigns can run across multiple 4-week periods if you want a longer presence. Lead times vary, but most campaigns are on screen within a few weeks of creative approval and contract execution.
