Ads run in the pre-show segment on the main screen before the feature film begins. The audience is fully seated, the auditorium is dark, and there are no competing screens. Attention ratings for cinema run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social media or standard digital placements.
Local TV audiences are aging and shrinking. Sixty percent of cinema audiences are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so traditional broadcast simply won't reach them. Streaming platforms struggle with skip rates and divided attention. Cinema puts your ad in front of a captive audience with no scroll option and no second screen, and attention metrics consistently outperform both CTV and YouTube.
A standard campaign runs 4 weeks, which is the baseline for the pricing listed here. Longer flights build frequency with repeat moviegoers and pair well with seasonal promotions, product launches, or local events. Alluvit Media can structure campaigns around specific release windows to match audience volume with your timing goals.
Yes. Cinema advertising has category restrictions that prohibit ads for alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political campaigns or candidates. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of market. If your business falls outside these categories, getting approved and on screen is a straightforward process.
