What makes us unique?
The most sought after, attentive audience
Young, diverse and at the movies.
NCM’s audience is comprised of multicultural Gen Zs and Millennials. A whopping 73% of all adults 18-49 went to the movies in 2023, with 7 out of 10 moviegoers in the top 10 markets belonging to NCM. And they are the most attentive at the movies, with cinema ranking #1 in attention metrics vs. all other premium video mediums. Each week, our moviegoers show up and they engage with our advertisers’ content in a brand-safe environment.

Did you know?
Our median age is 30, and cinema delivers more adults 18-49 than the top 9 TV shows combined from the 2023 TV season. Plus, they pay attention to an average 25.1 seconds of a :30 ad at the movies.
We get powerful cultural moments
Movies drive the cultural conversation.
Cinema brings out the FOMO effect! More adults 18+ went to the opening weekend of Barbenheimer (18.5M) than attended all four major league sporting events over 12 months (14.4M)! Barbenheimer ratings toped 63 prime shows combined, and the top 20 AVOD streaming shows. And 5x the number of people who attended Taylor Swift's Eras Tour saw the film on the big screen. It’s an immersive, shared, cultural experience.
Did you know?
The movies dominate social chatter. The 2023 Top Google Trends featured Super Mario Bros., Guardians of the Galaxy, Barbie AND Barbenheimer, and Taylor’s concert film. The closest trending celeb was Lionel Messi.
