A 4-week citywide campaign runs $1,598 to $3,196, placing your brand in front of a captive audience at Austintown Plaza 10, Cinema South 10, and Tinseltown USA Youngstown.

A single-theater 4-week campaign in Youngstown runs $414 to $1,184, depending on screen count and placement. A citywide campaign across all 3 theaters and 27 screens ranges from $1,598 to $3,196. Youngstown is a Tier 4 market with CPMs between $34 and $40, making it a cost-efficient buy for regional advertisers.
Common advertisers include quick-service restaurants, auto dealers, healthcare systems, local retailers, colleges, and home services providers. National brands use cinema to reinforce TV campaigns, while local businesses use it to reach audiences they can no longer find on cable. The format works for any brand that benefits from high-attention, unskippable placement.
Ads run on screen during the pre-show, starting around 30 minutes before the feature film. The placement is unskippable, plays at full volume, and runs in a darkened room with no competing distractions. Depending on the theater and campaign scope, some packages also include lobby digital displays and other in-venue placements.
Cinema delivers attention ratings 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital ads. 60% of moviegoers have cut the cord, so cinema reaches audiences that TV and streaming simply don't. Lift studies back this up: cinema has driven a 34% increase in auto dealer foot traffic and a 53% lift in retail visits.
The standard campaign unit is 4 weeks, matching typical film booking cycles and giving advertisers enough frequency to build recall. Campaigns can run across multiple 4-week blocks. For Youngstown's estimated 43,200 monthly impressions, a single 4-week flight covers meaningful reach across the local market without a long-term commitment.
Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are all restricted from in-theater placements. These restrictions apply nationally, regardless of local regulations. Advertisers in those categories are not eligible for cinema placement. All other major categories, including healthcare, finance, food and beverage, and retail, are accepted subject to standard creative review.
