Chances are you might already have a set of speakers and projector or two in your inventory. For this equipment to be suitable for outdoor event screenings, your projector needs to be 3,000 lumens bright and have an HDMI input. The power of the audio system needs to be at least 1,000W total power, and rated to operate outdoors.
If you already have such equipment the only missing component is an inflatable screen.

The larger screens of up to 40' x 22.5' are rather for large audiences or Drive-in applications. 4-6 technicians needed to operate a 40-footer, which comes at an extra cost.
The Pro complete outdoor movie systems include higher-grade AV components such as a brighter projector and more powerful speakers, as well extra items, hand-picked by Open Air Cinema to make frequent screening management more convenient for you as an event organizer.
As your first outdoor movie system or if you are on a limited budget, the Home lineup will be more than sufficient.
The Home system will fit in great for weekend screenings during the season, for years to come. But if the plan is to host movies under the stars every day consider investing in a Pro system from Open Air Cinema.

Audience size
When you plan an open air movie event in your park think about a specific venue for such a screening. How many viewers can it accommodate? The resulting audience size will be the decisive factor for the screen size that you will need. 16' x 9' and 20' x 11' are the most universal sizes for the "movie in the park" screenings. Such screens will comfortably entertain between 250 and 500 people in chairs or spread out on blankets. Outdoor movie systems of 16' or 20' are compact when stored away and require two technicians to operate.Open Air Cinema Home or Pro lineup for community parks
