Ventura, CA sits at the northern edge of the Los Angeles media market with a population of roughly 110,000 and a median household income just over $100,000. That purchasing power, combined with a median age of 41 and a 41% college-educated workforce, makes this a particularly attractive audience for local and regional advertisers.
The city has one theater, Century 10 Downtown, with 10 screens and an estimated 17,333 monthly moviegoer impressions. A 4-week cinema advertising campaign here runs between $1,228 and $2,457 depending on format and placement. Cinema audiences in this market skew younger than most streaming platforms, carry a 62% multicultural composition, and deliver attention levels 6 to 16 times higher than social and digital ads. For advertisers looking to reach Ventura residents in a lean-forward environment, the local cinema is a direct, measurable option.
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 Century 10 Downtown costs between $1,228 and $2,457, depending on ad format and placement tier. Ventura falls within the Los Angeles market, where CPMs run $70 to $85. The theater draws roughly 17,333 monthly impressions, putting your cost per thousand viewers in line with most local digital options.
Common advertisers include local restaurants, auto dealerships, healthcare providers, real estate agencies, financial services firms, and retail businesses. National brands use cinema to reinforce broader campaigns. With a median household income over $100,000 in Ventura, the audience is well-suited for higher-consideration purchases like home services, financial planning, and vehicle sales.
Ad placements include the pre-show on-screen program running before the feature film, plus lobby screens and other in-venue positions depending on availability. The on-screen pre-show gets the most attention: research shows cinema ads outperform live sports by 2 to 6 times, and social or digital placements by 6 to 16 times.
Cinema delivers a captive audience with no remote control and no skip button. About 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, so TV spots may never reach them. Streaming ads get skipped. In documented lift studies, cinema campaigns drove a 34% increase in auto dealership foot traffic and a 53% increase in incremental retail visits.
Most campaigns run in 4-week increments, matching typical film rotation schedules. A single 4-week flight at Century 10 Downtown puts your message in front of the same audience across multiple visits. Longer runs of 8 to 12 weeks build stronger recall and work well for businesses with ongoing promotions or seasonal goals.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema. These restrictions apply regardless of campaign size or budget. If your business falls into one of these categories, cinema is not an available channel. Most other local business categories are eligible, including food, retail, healthcare, and professional services.
Call for pricing tailored to your dates, film slate, and targeting.
