Thinking about hosting a good ol’ fashioned drive-in movie and wondering how it all works? The mystery of how the people in the cars will hear the sound is solved by our FM transmitter, the magic audio transmitter that syncs up with a specified radio station, thereby enabling each cart to tune-in to the movie through their very own car radio! Watch out for people with fancy EV’s that are purely digital, we’ve found that they sometimes need help figuring out how to turn on their radios! : ) See our drive-in movie diagram parking maps to get a sense for how much space you’ll need, row / car spacing and car capacity. We can instruct you on all this and can even help you usher in the cars if necessary. If your space is narrow in width or depth but very long in the other direction, a dual-screen drive in (inter-synched audio and visual) can be a great option. Please don’t hesitate to call, text or email us with any additional questions you may have.

The movie is the main event, but there’s so much more that you can do. Don’t hesitate to invite food venders, caterers, food trucks, or entertainers. A magician or real-life visit from a Disney Princess from Frozen or Superhero like Ironman or Spiderman can make a huge difference. We elected to have a giant inflatable obstacle course and an inflatable castle bounce house for the kids before the movie and it really added to the scope of the event. Get some banners printed and don’t hesitate to put up a little slideshow promo to show off your sponsors as well. And make a playlist of some tunes you like. We’ll play whatever you ask for. Music can be streamed from a laptop or phone from an Apple Music, Spotify or other streaming music platform. You can choose the playlist or just let us know what type of music you’re looking for and we can put something together for you. We’ve had comedians, clowns, trapeze artists, pop-up escape rooms and zip-lines and more. A raffle, dunk-booth, carnival games and more can help turn a movie-night into much more. Looking for more ideas? Just ask us!

Fear not, we’re here to help and to walk you through the process. If you’re showing a movie to a group of more than _____ people in a public venue, you are required to license the movie. There are two companies in the United States who can provide you with the license for most movies. As you will find out, all licensing fees are not the same! Check into this early, because if you’re on a budget, licenses fees should be considered during movie selection. You can check on their websites and/or call Swank Motion Pictures 800-876-5577 and Criterion Pictures USA 800-890-9494.

The old adage really holds up here! You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time! First and foremost, consider your audience and narrow down your selection based on what you can not show. Ratings are an obvious place to start, but you may be able to narrow down your selection far more based on other factors pertinent to the viewing demographic. Consider the total run time and the feeling or affect that you want to elicit as related to the purpose and goals of the event. Look into rating systems from IMDB, Rotten Tomato and the numerous other rating agencies. Get input from key stakeholders, but communicate in a way that enables those stakeholders to remember in advance that their choice may not be selected (and you may want to remind them that this is ok ; )!

We don’t ever remember having anyone complain about the quality of our sound. It is truly outstanding. We use the robust and powerful black concert speakers that you probably have seen and heard at your favorite concerts. We rarely adjust the volume beyond a level of 3 out of 10 because they are simply too powerful. Adjustable stands enable us to elevate and direct the speakers in order to optimize sound quality for larger audiences and in bigger venues, we offer multi-speaker surround sound comparable to Dolby 5.1 theater sound and can add the proper delay to distant speakers in order to ensure audio uniformity for the entire audience. All of our audio runs from a 4k Ultra Blue-Ray Disc player (or your choice of media source) through our professional six-input stereo audio mixer. Without a doubt, you and your patrons will be impressed with the listening experience.
Silent cinema (wireless headphones) is an emerging popular option that we are proud to offer. Our extensive research has led us to _______ headphones because they do not have a background hum during silent portions of the movie.

Our screens can be as large as 52 feet! That’s close to the height of a 4 story building and is more than 5 NBA basketball goals stacked on top of each other! And if you’re looking for a smaller screen for a more intimate backyard event or a smaller professional gathering, we have screens as small as 12 feet wide.
We almost assuredly can accept any media input that you can think of – most of our customers prefer Blue-Ray discs and for promotional reels or shorts, video files can be played from our laptop directly or from a USB drive.
We manufacture, sell and rent the very best and highest quality inflatable movie screens in the industry. We have over _____ years experience sourcing, analyzing and testing various weights and types of vinyl and manufacturing processes and the result is a robust best-in-class screen that creates the Wow! Factor when it inflates and works every single time. We use a bottom-weighted continuous airflow system (not a sealed air system) with heavy-duty stabilizing straps that anchor the screen for added stability outdoors.
