Redwood City is a Silicon Valley market with a median household income of $150,840 and a population of over 82,000. More than half of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher, and the median age of 37.5 means the audience is working, spending, and making real purchasing decisions. Advertising budgets need to work hard here, and cinema delivers.
The Redwood Downtown 20 and XD is the city's only theater, with 20 screens and an estimated 64,000 monthly moviegoer impressions. Cinema audiences aren't scrolling past your ad. They're seated, focused, and 2 to 16 times more attentive than viewers on social media, streaming, or live sports broadcasts.
Choose what fits your campaign — on-screen, in-lobby, and digital extensions.
Your brand opens the show
Plays early in the pre-show sequence, before trailers begin. Best for awareness and reach.
Peak attention, before the trailers
Plays in the mid-pre-show pod when theater attention peaks. Our most-requested slot.
The last ad before the feature
The premium position — the final commercial before the feature begins. Highest recall, unskippable.
Digital signage throughout the theater
Full-motion placements on lobby plasma displays. Extends brand presence beyond the auditorium.
Retarget moviegoers on CTV and OTT
After cinema exposure, retarget the same moviegoer audience across premium streaming services using verified attendance data.
Banner & mobile reach for your moviegoers
Display and mobile ad retargeting to the verified moviegoer audience. Geo, demo, and behavior layers.
A 4-week campaign in Redwood City typically runs $3,650 to $4,150, depending on how many screens you take and which placements you use.
Final cost depends on flight length and how your dates line up with the film release calendar, so every campaign is quoted individually. Request a quote for current pricing in this market.
Local and regional advertisers across a range of categories use cinema here, including restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, financial services, real estate, tech companies, and retail brands. Auto advertisers using cinema have seen a 34% lift in foot traffic. Retail brands have documented 53% more incremental visits compared to control groups. It performs.
Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, or political candidates or causes. These restrictions apply nationally and are consistent across theater locations, including the Redwood Downtown 20 and XD. If your business falls outside these categories, the format is open to you.
Ads run in the pre-show segment, directly before the feature film. It's a full-sight, sound, and motion placement in a darkened auditorium with no competing content. No pop-ups, no skip buttons, no second screens. Audiences are seated and paying attention, which is why attention ratings run 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.
Cinema reaches an audience that traditional TV largely misses. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so linear television simply does not reach them consistently. The median moviegoer age is 30, younger than the typical Netflix, Hulu, or NFL viewer. For brands targeting adults under 45 in a high-income Silicon Valley market, cinema fills a real coverage gap.
Campaigns are sold in 4-week blocks, matching typical film cycles at the Redwood Downtown 20 and XD. Four weeks generates consistent exposure across roughly 64,000 monthly impressions in a single-theater market. Many advertisers run consecutive flights to build frequency, especially during product launches, seasonal promotions, or competitive periods in the Bay Area.
