Monetize Cinemas Screens

Cinema audiences pay to sit in front of a screen — which means lobby and concession DOOH inventory delivers an unusually attentive viewer, and pre-show on-screen ads convert at rates that approach digital video.

5+ · Sample venues
5 · Screen formats

Cinema lobbies, concession-area screens, and pre-show on-screen ads collectively serve one of the most-attentive DOOH audiences anywhere — paid viewers who have already chosen to sit and watch a screen for two hours.

Common questions from cinemas operators

Won't audiences object to more ads?

Cinema-goers expect pre-show advertising; ratios and content quality matter.

What about programming windows that need to stay clean?

Reserved-inventory tier carves out specific shows / dayparts.

Can I sell movie sponsorships directly?

Yes; the platform supports custom direct-sold bundles.
