Feature your film on Chicago Movies
Each week, one film gets the spotlight at the top of Chicago Movies, the page people in Chicago from the Loop to Rogers Park and Hyde Park open when they're deciding what to see tonight.
What you get
- Your poster, a short line about the film and your link at the top of the Chicago Movies home page for seven days.
- A Showtimes button that takes people straight to every showing of your film in Chicago.
- "Presented by" in that week's Chicago Movies Weekly email, with your poster.
- A short report when the run ends, with views and taps.
Who it's for
Distributors opening a film here, festivals selling passes, theaters with a special run or a one-night event, and screening series that want the right crowd. New releases, restorations, 35mm and 70mm runs, premieres and Q&As all fit!
How it stays useful
The spot is always labeled Sponsored and sits in its own space. Listings never change for a sponsor: every theater, time and critics' score stays exactly as it is. No pop-ups, no autoplay and no tracking pixels.
How booking works
- Write to us with the film, the week you want and where it's playing.
- We confirm the dates and rates, usually within a day.
- Send a poster (at least 600 pixels wide), one line about the film and your link. We set it up and send a preview.
Want more than one city? Chicago Movies has sister sites, PDX Movies and Seattle Movies and SF Showtimes and LA Showtimes, and one booking can cover all three.
