How often do movie theaters advertise?
- The Media Guru Answers(Wednesday, July 11, 2001 ):
-
Specific theaters can be tracked in
CMR (Competitive Media Reports) retail resources.
Generally speaking, the Guru thinks theaters very rarely advertise, leaving it up to the studios to promote current releases and include theater listings in these ads.
Most likely, custom research will be needed.

Media Guru,
I'm hoping you can help. I'm creating a media trivia game for a client and was wondering if you could answer a few questions. Do you know when the first television show aired? What was it? What commercials ran during that show? When was the first magazine published and what was it called? One more, would you happen to know what the first cable network was and when it aired?

- In 1938, NBC transmitted some real programs and a live unscheduled news event when a fire broke out near where a crew happened to be working
- NBC began regular TV service by broadcasting the opening of the NY Worlds Fair, April 30, 1939
- Commercial TV began with commercial licenses simultaneously issued to NY's NBC and CBS stations, WNBT and WCBW
- Up until 1946, TV was mostly just a NY phenomenon. Network TV begain when WNBT began feeding programs to Philadelphia and Schenectady (where GE had started it all).

Telemation, Inc. delivers a 24 hour Associated Press news channel (alpha-numeric) as a service to cable viewers.
In 1972, HBO was launched.

we are planning to begin copy testing TV commercials in cinemas. The idea is to use existing cinemas situated in malls. The people in the mall will be asked to pop in for a few minutes. They will be shown few spots together, as if it were a real combination of commercials recently shown on TV. They will then be asked to reply to a few questions. Naturally, this method selects people who are willing to expose themselves to the test. Other methods currently at work are more 'coercive'. Interviewers actually go to people's homes and show them commercials. What method would you approve? How can we improve our took?

The Guru's thoughts:
- A more appropriate scenario would be to invite
people to a "movie screening." Then have your commercial
among a few at the beginning of the screening and have some
trailers for new movies as well. In this way, it's a more
realistic replication of the real life viewing situation
and does not bring excess attention to the
commercials.
- You say you're going to test "TV Commercials" in
cinema. As long as there have been cinema commercials, the
conventional wisdom has been that you must not use the same
commercial as people would see on TV. A cinema commercial
must be bigger, better, edgier, more daring or else the
resentment naturally arising from finding commercials in
the theater will work more srtrongly against you.

The Guru's first thought for a sales organixation would be
Screenvision Cinema Network

(310-342-8240) They should have the research and availability information you need.
