Picture this: kids sprawled on blankets, adults in lawn chairs, everyone’s eyes glued to a crystal-clear movie playing on a massive inflatable screen in your backyard. No squinting at a tiny laptop screen or dealing with glare from windows.
You get the magic of a drive-in theater without leaving North Merrick. Your guests remember this night for years. And you? You look like the hero who made it all happen.
The best part is watching everyone’s face light up when that screen inflates and the movie starts. That’s the moment you know you nailed it.
The Big Bounce Theory isn’t some fly-by-night rental company. We’re a family-owned business that’s been serving North Merrick and Long Island for over 17 years.
We know what works in Nassau County weather. We’ve seen every possible setup scenario. And we’re fully licensed and insured because we take this seriously.
When you’re planning something special for your family or organization, you want people who show up on time, set everything up right, and make sure it actually works. That’s what you get here.
First, you tell us your event date, location in North Merrick, and roughly how many people you’re expecting. We’ll recommend the right screen size and package options.
Next, we handle delivery and setup at your location. Our team brings everything: the inflatable movie screen, projector, sound system, and all the technical equipment. We inflate the screen, test the projection, and make sure the audio is dialed in perfectly.
During your event, everything runs smoothly while you enjoy the show. When the movie ends, we come back to break everything down and haul it away. You don’t lift a finger except to hit play on the movie.

Your inflatable movie screen rental comes with the complete setup: professional-grade inflatable screen, digital projector, sound system with wireless microphones, and all cables and connections. No hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
North Merrick’s variable weather doesn’t faze these screens. They’re designed to handle wind and stay stable throughout your event. The projection quality works well even with some ambient light, though full darkness gives you that true theater experience.
For corporate events or special occasions, we offer custom branding options to make the screen display your logo or message before the movie starts. It’s a nice touch that makes your event feel more professional and personalized.
Screen size depends on your audience size and viewing distance. For backyard parties with 20-30 people, a 16-foot screen works perfectly. Larger community events or school functions typically need 20-foot or 30-foot screens.
The rule of thumb is that your furthest viewers should be no more than eight times the screen height away. So a 16-foot screen works great when your back row is about 130 feet away or closer.
Our team will ask about your space and guest count, then recommend the ideal size. We’ve done enough North Merrick events to know what works in typical backyard setups versus larger park or school settings.
Yes, these aren’t the cheap backyard screens that blow around in the first breeze. Professional inflatable movie screens are designed with multiple anchor points and weighted bases to handle typical Long Island winds.
The screens stay inflated and stable even when Nassau County gets those gusty evening winds off the water. The blower system continuously maintains proper inflation, so you don’t have to worry about the screen going flat mid-movie.
If weather conditions become truly severe (like thunderstorms), we’ll work with you to reschedule. But normal windy conditions that are common in North Merrick won’t affect your movie night at all.
Your complete package includes the inflatable movie screen, digital projector, professional sound system, wireless microphones, all cables and connections, and the blower to keep the screen inflated. Setup and breakdown are included too.
We also provide extension cords and power distribution, so you just need access to standard electrical outlets. The sound system is powerful enough for outdoor use and includes wireless mics if you want to do introductions or announcements.
The only thing you provide is the movie content (DVD, streaming access, or digital file) and your audience. Everything else needed for a professional outdoor movie experience is handled by our team.
For popular dates like summer weekends or school event seasons, booking 3-4 weeks ahead gives you the best selection of screen sizes and times. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, especially for weekday events.
Peak season runs from May through September when everyone wants outdoor movie nights. Spring and fall school events also book up quickly since many North Merrick schools and organizations plan outdoor movie fundraisers.
If you have a specific date in mind, especially for larger screens or weekend events, calling early ensures availability. We maintain a large inventory, but the most popular combinations of date, time, and screen size do fill up during busy periods.
Absolutely, but you’ll need to secure any required permits from North Merrick or Nassau County parks departments first. School events typically require coordination with the facility manager to ensure proper electrical access and setup space.
Most North Merrick parks have electrical access, but our setup crew needs to know about any restrictions on vehicle access, setup times, or noise ordinances. School gymnasiums and cafeterias also work great for indoor movie events during colder months.
We’ve worked with numerous Long Island schools and community organizations, so we know the typical requirements. Just let us know the venue when you book, and we’ll help coordinate any logistical details with the facility.
Light rain won’t hurt the inflatable movie screen itself, but it’s not great for your audience or the electronic equipment. The projector and sound system need protection from moisture, so steady rain means postponing the event.
We monitor weather forecasts leading up to your event and will contact you if conditions look problematic. Most rental agreements include provisions for weather-related rescheduling without penalty, since nobody controls Mother Nature.
For events where weather is a concern, consider having an indoor backup plan or choosing a date with a more favorable forecast. Many North Merrick community centers or school gymnasiums can accommodate inflatable movie screens if you need to move indoors.
