Wait, I need to remove the em dash. Let me redo:

A single-theater, 4-week campaign in Spokane runs $984 to $3,280, depending on screen count and placement type. Running citywide across all three theaters (River Park Square 20, Northtown 12, and Spokane Valley 12) costs $3,608 to $7,216 for the same 4-week window. The market CPM is $37 to $45.

Who typically advertises in Spokane cinemas?

Common advertisers in Tier 3 markets like Spokane include local auto dealers, QSR and restaurant chains, healthcare providers, universities, real estate firms, and regional retailers. Cinema advertising has documented outcomes for these categories: auto advertisers see up to 34% increases in foot traffic, and retail brands record 53% more incremental store visits.

Where exactly does my ad appear in the theater?

Ads run on the big screen during the pre-show segment, before trailers and the feature film. It's a full-screen, full-audio placement in a dark room with nowhere else to look. Attention research shows cinema ads score 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital formats.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in Spokane?

Spokane broadcast TV and streaming buys reach audiences that skew older and are increasingly fragmented. Cinema reaches a median age of 30, with 60% of moviegoers being cord-cutters or cord-nevers. That makes it one of the few formats where younger adults can be reached at scale, in a controlled, high-attention setting.

Are there any advertising categories that are not accepted?

Yes. Cinema advertising does not accept campaigns for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political candidates and causes. These restrictions apply across the theater network regardless of market. If your business falls outside these categories, the Spokane market is open for standard campaign planning.

How many people will my campaign realistically reach in Spokane?

Spokane's three theaters generate an estimated 88,000 monthly moviegoer impressions across 44 screens. A 4-week citywide campaign reaches that full audience. Single-theater campaigns cover a portion of it, concentrated in specific neighborhoods: downtown, Northtown, or Spokane Valley, depending on where your customers are.
