Stafford, TX is part of the Houston market and delivers strong advertising value relative to its size. The population is 17,279, median household income is $85,910, and 40.7% of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher. That's a well-educated, financially stable audience.
The Fountains 18 is the only cinema in Stafford. Its 18 screens generate an estimated 57,600 monthly moviegoer impressions, making it a focused, efficient placement for local and regional advertisers. The median resident age is 32.8, close to the national cinema median of 30. Nationally, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so traditional TV buys won't reach them. A 4-week campaign at this location runs $4,464 to $8,928 depending on format and frequency. CPMs fall in the $70 to $85 range, standard for this Tier 1 Houston market.
Real ranges for a 4-week :30 campaign. Final pricing depends on theaters selected, seasonality, and the 2026 film slate.

A 4-week campaign at Fountains 18 runs between $4,464 and $8,928, depending on ad format and placement frequency across the theater's 18 screens. CPMs fall between $70 and $85, consistent with Tier 1 Houston market pricing. Stafford has one theater, so a single buy here covers the entire city.
Local and regional advertisers in categories like auto dealerships, healthcare, restaurants, financial services, and retail perform well here. Nationally, auto advertisers have seen a 34% lift in foot traffic and retail brands a 53% increase in incremental visits from cinema campaigns. At a median household income of $85,910, the Stafford audience is well-positioned for higher-consideration purchases.
Placements include on-screen pre-show ads that run before the feature film, lobby digital displays, and in some locations, restroom and concession area placements. The on-screen pre-show format earns attention ratings 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital advertising, according to third-party measurement.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted at this location or anywhere else on the network, regardless of local regulations. Advertisers in those categories will need to look at other channels. All other major business categories are eligible to run campaigns.
Cinema reaches an audience that, 60% of the time, doesn't subscribe to traditional cable, so local TV misses them entirely. Attention in a dark, phone-free auditorium is measurably higher than on CTV or YouTube. For Stafford's median-age 32.8, college-educated demographic, cinema fills a real gap that digital and broadcast buys leave open.
A standard buy runs 4 weeks, matching typical film cycles and giving your creative enough exposure across Fountains 18's 18 screens to build real frequency. Some advertisers extend to 8 or 12 weeks for sustained presence. Campaigns can also be timed around new releases to take advantage of higher-traffic weekends and specific audience demographics.
Call for pricing tailored to your dates, film slate, and targeting.
