Movie makers may want to pay more attention to mobile, Hispanic demos

Summer is winding down in the US, and so is the blockbuster movie season. But, as Hollywood looks ahead to the holiday season, ad-makers may want to push to target more of the Hispanic and mobile demographics. According to a new report from Briabe Mobile and MocoSpace, Hispanic consumers are hungry for movie-related information and most are connecting to find reviews, showtimes and locations from mobile devices.

  • 75% of Hispanics go to a movie theater once/month

  • 65% of Hispanics use mobiles to find movie showtimes/locations

  • 55% of Hispanics use mobiles to fetch movie info within four hours of showtime

  • 39% of Hispanics use mobiles to watch movie trailers
  • "This report proved to be a treasure trove of relevant information for both the entertainment industry and marketers," said Briabe Mobile CEO James Briggs, "as it highlights numerous opportunities for deploying mobile strategies to successfully get Hispanic moviegoers into theaters."

    "Hispanics are some of the most highly engaged mobile consumers in the country," said Justin Siegel, CEO of MocoSpace. "This is why we've seen a consistent six-year increase in ad budgets for films and DVD releases shifting towards mobile, with campaigns specifically targeted at the mobile Hispanic consumer."

    Movie/entertainment information isn't the only access point for Hispanic consumers. Earlier this year The Pew Internet & American Life Project found young Hispanics are using mobile apps to access local news. What's more, the Briabe Mobile report finds that pre-movie, these viewers are likely to look to search or mobile banners to help make their decision, and post-movie Hispanic consumers are likely to hit social networks to share their opinions on the flick.
