Cinema advertising industry revenues among Cinema Advertising Council (CAC) members grew 15% to $455.7 million in 2006, from $394.8 million in 2005, according to (pdf) the CAC’s just-released 2006 report on cinema advertising revenues. CAC members account for more than 81% of US movie screens, according to the organization.

The CAC report includes revenue data for both on-screen cinema advertising (including commercials airing in advance of movie previews and the feature presentation) and off-screen revenues (including those derived from audio programming, sampling, special events, concession-based promotions and lobby-based promotions).
