Ads run on screen in the auditorium before the feature film, during the pre-show segment after audiences are seated. This is not lobby signage or a pop-up ad. Your creative runs full screen, with theatrical sound, in front of an audience that chose to be there. Placements are available at Cinemark Raleigh Grande 16, Brier Creek Stadium 14, North Hills Stadium 14, and other participating venues.

Common advertisers include restaurants and QSR chains, automotive dealers, healthcare systems, financial services, retail, real estate, and local universities. Raleigh's high income and education levels make it a strong fit for financial products, healthcare, and higher education campaigns. Note that alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in this channel.

The standard unit is a 4-week flight, which matches how most theatrical titles perform at the box office. Many advertisers run consecutive 4-week periods to maintain presence across multiple releases. Alluvit Media can also time campaigns around high-traffic windows, such as summer blockbusters or holiday films, to maximize impression volume across Raleigh's 56 screens.
