Century at Tanforan generates an estimated 64,000 moviegoer impressions per month. These are in-auditorium viewers seated before the feature film, not scrolling past a banner. Nationally, cinema attention ratings run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital placements.

Ads run on screen inside the auditorium as part of the pre-show sequence, before the feature film begins.

Residents there are connected but selective about what they watch, and the theater delivers a non-skippable, full-screen format that streaming simply can't replicate.
