The purpose of this study is to examine viewers` intentions to watch movies after viewing online banner advertisements of movies, and verify the mediation effect of flow and association to research how the interactivity of movie banner advertisements influences viewers. For the study, trailer and advergame banners for three genres of movies were made, and an online survey was conducted with 146 adults. As a result, based on 5 hypothesis tests, the study enables us to conclude that the interactivity of the advergame banners results in a higher viewer intention of watching movies compared to trailer banners by inducing a flow experience among banner users not an association experience.
