We all love to watch a movie while eating popcorn considering we all grew up doing it. We all know the magic of going to the movie theater with friends, excited to watch the last release or the comeback of our favorite movie saga.
Times have changed after COVID. Movie theaters full of lines are long gone, along with franchises like Blockbuster. However, we still love watching movies; we just changed how we watch them. We started to watch Netflix, and COVID gave us a couple of reasons for wanting to avoid going to crowded places.
Nowadays, you can go to the movie theater or enjoy Netflix at home, but why not make a movie and Popcorn night unforgettable? That’s where Salut Event Rentals comes in offering a fun outdoor movie experience you can enjoy with your loved ones!
The Classic Movie and Popcorn Night
Friends laughing, throwing Popcorn, people shushing each other and saying “let me watch the movie!” are some of our fond memories from Movies and Popcorn nights with our families or friends.
The stage is simple: a couple of chairs or a sofa, a big screen, and lots of Popcorn. Hopefully, a good movie too! And everything is set to enjoy the evening.
It doesn’t matter if you hosted the movie and popcorn night, or if you were a guest; everybody would bring something, including bad jokes. Everyone together laughing and eating while enjoying the film made the whole experience.
What’s an Outdoor Movie Experience?
We want to replicate that cozy home feeling while adding comfort, a much bigger movie screen (up to 16ft!) and popcorn which tastes just like the one in the movie theaters.
We set it up right in your backyard. We bring bean bags, dish chairs, a professional popcorn machine, side tables, a large projector screen and a high quality video projector. The idea is to bring the excitement of the movie theater to the coziness of your home. Extra points if you decide to add nice decor and good lighting maybe for a Netflix and Chill…Just joking! However, decorating and string lighting really does go well with this experience.
Your guests will be thrilled to have a complete service to their classic movie and popcorn night right on their patio. Picture this: everybody is comfortably sitting in white and black comfortable seating, watching your favorite movie released on a 16ft screen with great surround sound, all your friends have unlimited access to Popcorn, and you even have side tables close to the chairs to make it even more comfortable.
It’s an exciting, yet personal experience!
When is a good time to rent an outdoor movie experience?
We recommend hosting an outdoor movie experience during fresh summer nights or warm evenings in spring or fall. We consider the comfort of your guests and yours; we also have outdoor heaters and evaporative coolers. So, plan and enjoy your evenings comfortably.
What can I do to make a fantastic movie and popcorn night with my friends?
Finding a good movie
Well, the first rule is that the movie has to be good. We recommend checking youtube videos, blogs, and even Rotten Tomatoes to see what’s worth watching.
Depending on your taste and your friends, you can list all the possibilities: Do you want drama, action, comedy, or historical movies? What about a light comedy? A long film (Lord of the Rings) or a short 45 minute show?
You want to make your time worth it. Check that the movie you choose is recommended online, has a good rating, and is a genre enjoyed by all your friends. You can also watch your favorite movie saga again, and that’s perfectly fine too.
Popcorn and Pizza?
The classic for movie nights is Popcorn and pizza: it’s tasty, and you can share it with your friends. Also, Popcorn and pizza are easy to make more flavorful by being a bit creative: spicy Popcorn with lemon, sweet Popcorn, salty Popcorn; the same goes for pizza: vegetarian, pepperoni, buffalo chicken or hawaiian (if you like pineapple in your pizza of course!).
If you want to avoid eating pizza or Popcorn, try to look for an alternative that is easy to share and to adapt to your friends’ tastes or food preferences. Wings, Burgers or maybe something a bit more healthier like a Chipotle bowls are good options!
For the rest, please leave it with us. Salut Event Rentals will take care of it by providing an awesome outdoor movie experience. You will have a fantastic night, we promise.
