We’re here to help!

While we don’t distribute licenses, we are more than happy to assist you in obtaining one on your behalf if requested. Making your Outdoor Movie event easy to plan and execute is part of our mission.

What’s the cost, and who needs one?

The cost of a license varies and depends on a few factors. A general rule of thumb would be that a movie title os on DVD your cost will range from $200-$400 on average. For titles that are in pre-release (in theatres but not on DVD) the cost on average is between $400-$600. The license is good for one screening. In almost all instances a license is required. For private events taking place at your residence such as a backyard movie, no license is required. For schools you are best to check with your Principal or Librarian to ensure your school subscribes to one of the providers.

FAQ

Where can you set up your outdoor movie event?

We can set up our Outdoor Movie services events anywhere. Park spaces and fields are most common, but your imagination is the only limit for us. Rooftops, barges, backyards, pools, lakes, beaches, concrete, artificial turf, you name it! Our Outdoor movie screens can be placed almost anywhere you want

Are you able to do outdoor film screenings in all weather?

We are able to execute outdoor screening events in rain and snow, but it does have to be light in nature. Anything more and it’s just not a pleasant experience for everyone. Wind is also a factor to consider. Inflatable movie screens are giant sails and while we do secure our movie screens with the greatest amount of safety in mind, they do have limits.

Do we need a license to screen outdoor movies?

To screen outdoor movies anywhere else besides your own personal backyard you will need a public performance license to screen your movie outdoors legally. This includes any of the following regardless of size or location – free, non-profit, community events, corporate events including but not limited to street party events. We don’t issue licenses for outdoor movie events but we are happy to obtain them on your behalf.
