** Attitudes Toward Cinema Advertising **   ** 1. Cinema audiences donít mind advertising at the movies. **  The study showed a readiness for an advertising-enriched cinema environment. Two-thirds of moviegoers agreed with the statement ìI donít mind the advertisements they put on before the movie begins.î Among Teens 12-17 and young Adults 12-24, the agree rate was even higher at 71%. Even for older demographic segments, the agree rate for advertising was 62% for Adults 25-54 and 59% for Adults 55+. Contrary to what the popular press may be reporting, the study found that cinema audiences do not mind cinema advertising. Cinema audiences appear to be willing to make the same transition that cable television made in the 1980s: from fee-based commercial-free programming to fee-based programming that includes commercials.   ** 2. The acceptance of cinema advertising increases among frequent moviegoers. ** The more often people go to the movies, the higher the acceptance of cinema advertising. Sixty-nine percent of Americans 18+ who have seen two movies in the month say cinema advertising is acceptable. Sixty-eight percent of last-month moviegoers say cinema ads are acceptable. Among those who have seen a movie two to six months ago, 61% say cinema ads are acceptable. Fifty- four percent of those who saw a movie seven or more months ago say cinema advertising is acceptable. Those who rarely or never attend movies are less likely to find movie advertising acceptable, while the frequent moviegoers find cinema advertising very acceptable.   ** 3. Half of moviegoers feel cinema advertising is more interesting than the ads they see on TV. ** This finding is startling, considering that video ads or ìrolling stockî advertising prior to films is such a new and recent phenomenon in American movie theaters. (Worldwide, video advertising before the movies has been a common practice for decades.) Among all Americans aged 18 and older, the younger the demographic group, the greater the number who feel that movie advertising is more interesting than ads on TV. Sixty-two percent of young adults 18-24 feel that cinema advertising is more interesting than ads on TV. For advertisers targeting younger demographics, cinema as a medium is an advertising environment providing more compelling messages than television. 

 ** The findings of the study show that: **  ** Okay, you might think that simply means lots of people go to the movies and most of them are young adults. And that's hardly anything striking enough to reassess the advertising scene. Consider, though, the following findings from the same study: **  ** That still may seem unimpressive until you remember that most consumers today are empowered with technologies to shut out advertisements, and they avoid commercials whenever they can. Conversely, cinema advertisements cannot be shut out, and the moviegoer learns to accept and enjoy cinema advertisements as a part of the overall experience. Moviegoers are in a more receptive mode in a movie theater since movie going is usually a social and family activity. These facts gain further importance in light of the following findings: ** ** My own opinions of the cinema advertising ** ** The cinema advertising is really extremely expensive than other media, why so many companies also choose the cinema advertising? ** <span style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-indent: -36pt;">** 1. **** Most of people always come to the cinema earlier, even half of one hour earlier. When they have a seat before the movie begins, they do not have other things to do. The only thing for them is to watch the all kinds of advertisements of the big screen. ** <span style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; text-indent: -36pt;">** 2. ****<span style="colo
