Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an outdoor movie event cost?
Great question!Big Movie Mania has different screen sizes to choose from (depending on your needs/wants) but prices range from just $299 & up depending on which screen you choose.
Does Big Movie Mania offer concessions?
We offer full-service popcorn packages. This means that we bring a theater-style popcorn machine and we will pop, bag and serve popcorn to your audience directly from our machines. What’s a movie night without popcorn!
Does it need to be dark to see the movie
Does it need to be dark to see the movie?
Yes! If your movie is held outdoors we recommend you schedule your start time to be at least 15 minutes after the official sunset time for your location. You can view your local sunset times by visiting SunriseSunset.com.
How much setup time is needed?
Big Movie Mania will typically schedule an arrival time of 1 – 2 hours prior to your movie start time. Equipment can typically be setup in as little as 30-45 minutes depending on screen size and venue. Your Big Movie Mania representative will work with you to schedule our arrival time at your movie night.
How much power is needed?
Power requirements vary based on what size screen you choose, and if you added popcorn to your event. Typically 2 or 3 standard 15 amp circuits are needed to power everything. We have an optional generator service for an additional charge if you don’t have power at your movie night location.
What about weather issues?
Rain and/or high winds can cause a movie night to be cancelled. BMM offers a rain date guarantee. Heat can also cause equipment issue. Starting after sunset helps prevent this.
Will the screens hurt the grass?
Not at all. Our screens typically weigh less than 200 lbs. and the weight is spread out over a large surface area.
