A Better Cinema Experience
Movie theaters have high dwell times, and studies have found that moviegoers are more likely to embrace advertising in the theater than on the Internet or TV.
Theater managers are taking advantage of the high dwell times
by using movie theater digital signage to create opportunities for engaging interactions and improved communication.
Cinema digital signage is being used to:
- Display an automated playlist of HD movie posters with showtimes, ratings and video trailers (Digital Box Office Display Solution).
- Promote the concession stand, loyalty programs, advanced screenings, theater events, etc.
- Used as a digital menu board for the concession stand.
- Entertain customers waiting in line to reduce perceived wait times.
- For wayfinding to give directions for auditoriums, restrooms, etc.
- Display important alerts and emergency information during an emergency.
- Display movie theater announcements, job offers, etc.
- Display weather and traffic on displays near the exit.
