Movie in the Park With Your Open Air Cinema Cinebox Outdoor Movie System
Open Air Cinema’s outdoor movie systems are perfect for a movie-in-the-park event. Movies in the park have become popular across the country and around the world, and for good reason: movies bring people together — family, friends, or an entire community. A film can carry an important message or simply entertain and relax, and a regular series is a great way to bring people back again and again. To run a successful movie-in-the-park series, keep these things in mind:
- Keep a predictable, regular schedule. Choose one night a week or month for your screenings so the timing is easy to remember.
- Publicize the films. Make it clear which movie you’re screening, and if you can, publish the whole series lineup. This builds excitement for upcoming titles and helps people catch their favorites.
- Have concessions. Sell concessions yourself (a great fundraiser) or contract a local business for a fee or a percentage of sales. Hungry guests spend, and if you have the time, theme the menu to the film — sno-cones and barbecue for a beach movie, hot dogs and burgers for The Sandlot or Grease.
