Vancouver, WA gives advertisers direct access to a growing Pacific Northwest audience. With nearly 193,000 residents, a median household income of $78,156, and a median age of 37.5, this is a market with real purchasing power. Vancouver falls within the Portland, OR metro, giving local and regional brands a cost-effective entry point into one of the West Coast's most competitive corridors.
The city has 5 movie theaters across 63 screens, generating an estimated 151,200 monthly moviegoer impressions. Top venues include Cascade 16 IMAX and RPX Cinemas, Vancouver Mall 23, and City Center Stadium 12. Cinema audiences here skew younger than most TV and streaming audiences, with 60% classified as cord-cutters or cord-nevers. Attention levels run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social media. For brands that want to reach an engaged audience, Vancouver's theater network delivers.

A single-theater 4-week campaign in Vancouver runs $1,027 to $4,108 depending on screen count and placement type. A citywide campaign covering the full market runs $8,089 to $16,178 for the same 4-week window. Vancouver is a Tier 2 market with CPMs ranging from $47 to $60, a more efficient buy than broadcast or digital alternatives.

Placements include on-screen pre-show ads running in the 20 to 30 minutes before the feature, plus lobby screens, digital menu boards, and experiential placements depending on the venue. On-screen ads at locations like Cascade 16 IMAX and RPX run at full cinema resolution with no skip option and no competing content during playback.
Cinema delivers attention ratings 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital platforms. Ads cannot be skipped, unlike connected TV or YouTube. About 60% of Vancouver moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so cinema reaches an audience that broadcast and cable TV increasingly miss.
The standard campaign unit is 4 weeks, matching typical film engagement cycles and giving enough frequency to drive measurable lift. Brands can run at a single theater to test creative and cost efficiency, or expand across all 5 Vancouver theaters for citywide reach across 63 screens and 151,200 estimated monthly impressions.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema ad placements. These restrictions apply market-wide and are consistent across the theater network. Advertisers in those categories will need to look at other channels. All other major consumer and B2B categories are eligible to run.
Call for pricing tailored to your dates, film slate, and targeting.
