Where exactly do the ads appear in the theater?

Ads run on screen before the feature film during the pre-show segment, reaching every seat across all 8 screens. Lobby placements, including posters and digital displays, can supplement the on-screen buy. The pre-show format puts ads in front of a seated audience with no phone scrolling, no remote, and no skip option.

How does cinema advertising compare to TV or streaming in this market?

Cinema delivers attention rates 2 to 6 times higher than live sports, and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital placements. In the Chicago suburbs, 60% of moviegoers are cord-cutters or cord-nevers, meaning broadcast TV and most streaming platforms never reach them. CPM rates are competitive, and the attention is verified and in-seat.

How long should a campaign run in West Dundee?

A standard campaign runs 4 weeks, matching typical film cycles and delivering consistent exposure across roughly 25,600 monthly impressions at Spring Hill Mall. Advertisers with time-sensitive promotions can start with a single 4-week flight. Brands focused on sustained awareness often book multiple consecutive cycles.

Are there any advertising categories that cannot run in this theater?

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema. These restrictions apply regardless of local ordinances or campaign budget. Advertisers in those categories should plan for alternative placements. All other standard consumer, retail, service, and B2B categories are eligible to run.
