How much does cinema advertising cost?

From a €1,500 local spot to a €30,000 national campaign: the real ranges of the big screen.

The short answer:

  • 🎬 Local screening (2 weeks): €1,500 to €8,000
  • 🌍 National screening (2 weeks): €5,000 to €30,000
  • 🎥 Film production: €5,000 to €70,000 by ambition
  • 30s national spot: €3,000 to €10,000

Cinema delivers maximum attention: big screen, immersive sound, a captive viewer who can't skip. It's the medium of emotional impact and brand quality. Targeting is powerful (by film, genre, area, venue), but reach builds more slowly than TV.

Frequently asked questions

What budget for cinema advertising?
A 2-week local screening costs €1,500-8,000, a national one €5,000-30,000. Add production, from €5,000 (simple) to €70,000 (polished shoot).
Is cinema profitable?
It's the medium of maximum attention (big screen, sound, captive viewer). Ideal for brand quality and local drive-to-store. Measure via promo codes and awareness studies.
Can you target at the cinema?
Yes, precisely: by film, genre, geographic area and venue. It's one of the medium's key strengths to pay only for the affinity audience.
Do I need a dedicated film?
Not necessarily: a TV spot adapted to cinema constraints often suffices. A dedicated production is only worth it for a strong creative stance.
