Welcome to BigScreenBiz.com

Say you have a theater with a few screens. Any thoughts on what you can expect to take in per screen by selling/running onscreen ads?

I've given y'all very little info, I know, so rough ideas are welcome. Thoughts on local or national advertisers are all good.

You are certainly not that naive to think that anyone will publish such info on a public forum on the internet?

Moviebuf - Not quite sure why I shouldn't.

I charge $75 per month or $350 for 6 month. With very little effort I have about 6 advertisers regularly.
Everything done in house.
Small midwestern town - 2 screen.

Well, I'm pretty naive alright, but I do appreciate input such as Keweler's. Very helpful!

Several theaters where I live list their rates (on the internet) to potential advertisers and even list the total number of advertisers they'll accept at a given time. Of course, I'm just asking for thoughts and ranges - not necessarily what other operators actually make themselves.

perhaps it was regarding what on screen advert companies pay theatres to accept their ad packages? At my 2 screen we net +/- about 1000.00 per year per screen on national ads.

Single screen in small town: We charge 50 per month, 125 per quarter, plus a slide set up fee. No more than 6 advertisers. Usually 2-4 only. We mix it up with public service, concession reminders and upcoming live events in the theatre, as well as a trivia quiz to get attention.
