You want your event to be the one people talk about for years. Our inflatable movie screens transform ordinary gatherings into extraordinary experiences that bring families and friends together in ways indoor entertainment simply can’t match.
Picture your guests settling in with blankets and popcorn as the sun sets, watching their favorite films on a massive screen under the Franklin Square night sky. The laughter echoes, kids sprawl out on the grass, and adults rediscover the magic of outdoor cinema.
This isn’t just about renting equipment. It’s about creating those rare moments when everyone puts down their phones, gathers close, and shares something special together.
The Big Bounce Theory has been bringing joy to Franklin Square families since 2007. As a family-owned company, we understand what makes Long Island communities special—the tight-knit connections, the pride in creating memorable experiences, and the desire to give children something extraordinary.
We’ve served everyone from backyard birthday parties to large community events across Nassau County. Our team knows Franklin Square’s neighborhoods, understands the local weather patterns, and has built relationships with families who return year after year.
When you’re planning something important for your family or community, you need people who care as much as you do about making it perfect.
First, you choose your screen size based on your guest count and space. Our team helps you select the right package, from intimate backyard gatherings to large community events that need the biggest screens available.
Next, our professional crew arrives with everything needed—the inflatable movie screen, HD projector, cinema-grade sound system, and all technical equipment. We handle the complete setup, test your media, and tune the audio so everything’s perfect before your first guest arrives.
During your event, a technician stays on-site to manage any adjustments, handle last-minute media changes, and ensure smooth operation from start to finish. When the credits roll, we quietly pack everything up so you can focus on your guests, not cleanup.

Every rental includes the inflatable movie screen, professional HD projector, concert-grade speakers, DVD/Blu-ray players, and FM transmission for drive-in style audio. You also get a dedicated technician who stays throughout your event and comprehensive insurance coverage.
Franklin Square families appreciate having options. Whether you’re hosting 15 neighbors for a casual movie night or organizing a 200-person community event, we have screen sizes from 12 feet to over 40 feet wide.
The local advantage matters here. We know Franklin Square’s unique character—the community connections, the family-focused events, and the importance of creating experiences that bring the neighborhood together. Our equipment is designed for Long Island’s weather patterns, and our team understands the logistics of working in residential Franklin Square settings.
Screen size depends on your audience size and viewing distance. For backyard parties with 20-60 guests, a 12-16 foot screen works perfectly and fits most Franklin Square residential spaces.
For larger community events, school functions, or gatherings over 100 people, you’ll want 20-40 foot screens to ensure everyone has clear sightlines. Our team evaluates your specific space and guest count to recommend the ideal size.
We also consider your yard layout, power access, and any obstacles like trees or fences. Most Franklin Square properties can accommodate the smaller screens easily, while larger screens may need parks or school grounds for optimal setup.
Summer weekends book fastest, especially May through September when Franklin Square families are most active with outdoor events. For popular dates like Memorial Day, July 4th, or Labor Day weekends, booking 4-6 weeks ahead ensures availability.
Spring and fall dates typically have more flexibility, though October events around Halloween are increasingly popular for themed movie nights. Winter bookings are rare but possible for heated venues or holiday-themed events.
Peak season in Franklin Square runs from late April through early October. If you have flexibility with dates, mid-week events or Sunday evenings often have better availability and sometimes preferred pricing.
Every rental includes our Weather Assurance Plan with one free rain date rescheduling. If weather threatens your event, we monitor forecasts closely and work with you to make the best decision for your guests’ safety and enjoyment.
Light drizzle doesn’t necessarily cancel events—our equipment is weather-resistant and many Franklin Square families enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a light rain movie night. However, thunderstorms, heavy rain, or high winds require rescheduling for safety.
We typically make weather decisions 2-4 hours before your event start time, giving you enough notice to contact guests. The free rain date can be used within the same season, and we work around your schedule to find the best alternative date.
You provide the movies, which gives you complete control over content appropriate for your Franklin Square audience. We supply all playback equipment including DVD/Blu-ray players, streaming device connections, and laptop hookups.
For private backyard parties, you can use any movies you own or stream. For public events in Franklin Square parks or schools, you’ll need proper licensing through companies like Swank Motion Pictures or Criterion Pictures, which we can help you navigate.
Most families choose popular crowd-pleasers like Disney films for mixed-age groups, classic movies for nostalgic appeal, or recent releases for teen audiences. We provide guidance on what works best for outdoor viewing and different audience types.
Most residential Franklin Square properties have adequate power with standard 110V outlets. The inflatable screen blower, projector, and sound system typically require 2-3 separate circuits to avoid overloading your electrical system.
We bring extension cords and power distribution equipment, but you’ll need access to outdoor outlets or the ability to run power from your house. Most Franklin Square homes built after 1960 have sufficient electrical capacity for our equipment.
For locations without adequate power access, we can arrange generator rentals. Parks, schools, or community centers usually have appropriate electrical infrastructure, and we coordinate with facility managers to ensure proper power setup before your event.
A typical backyard setup needs roughly 30×40 feet of clear space for a 16-foot screen, including audience seating area. Most Franklin Square residential lots can accommodate smaller screens, though larger screens may require parks or school grounds.
You need clearance above for the inflated screen—typically 20-25 feet for larger screens. Trees, power lines, or structures can limit placement options, but our team works with your specific yard layout to find the best positioning.
The viewing area should allow 1.5-2 times the screen width for optimal viewing distance. For a 16-foot screen, guests should sit 25-30 feet back for the best experience. We help you arrange seating to maximize your Franklin Square property’s potential while ensuring everyone has great sightlines.
