Your guests will talk about this night for years. Picture families spread out on blankets, kids mesmerized by the giant screen, adults reliving their drive-in memories. That’s what happens when you bring cinema-quality entertainment to your backyard, park, or event space.
No more competing with phones or tablets. When that massive screen lights up and the movie begins, everyone’s attention locks in. You get genuine connection, shared laughter, and the kind of magical evening that makes people feel like they’re part of something special.
The best part? You don’t lift a finger. While your guests are settling in with popcorn and drinks, you’re actually enjoying your own event instead of running around trying to make everything work.
The Big Bounce Theory has been the go-to entertainment company for Smithtown families since 2007. We understand what works in this community because we’re part of it.
Smithtown residents know the value of quality family time, especially with the town’s strong emphasis on outdoor activities and community events. That’s exactly what drives our family-owned business to deliver flawless movie nights that bring people together.
From intimate backyard parties in the residential neighborhoods near Caleb Smith State Park to large community events at local schools and parks, we’ve perfected the art of outdoor cinema. Licensed, insured, and trusted by hundreds of Long Island families.
The process starts with understanding your space and audience size. We’ll recommend the perfect screen size from our three available options, each designed to accommodate different group sizes up to 500 guests.
On event day, our team arrives with everything needed: the inflatable movie screen, cinema-grade projector, professional sound system, and all technical equipment. The sealed-air screen technology inflates quickly without noisy blowers running throughout your event.
Setup happens fast and efficiently. Our technician handles all technical aspects, tests everything thoroughly, and stays on-site during your entire event. When the movie ends, we pack up and leave your space exactly as we found it. You focus on your guests, we handle the rest.

Your rental includes the complete cinema package: inflatable outdoor movie screen, high-definition projector, professional sound system, and on-site technical support. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no equipment you have to figure out yourself.
Smithtown’s variable weather conditions require reliable, weather-resistant equipment. Our screens and projection systems are designed to handle Long Island’s outdoor environment, from summer humidity to unpredictable spring evenings.
The service extends beyond just equipment rental. Our team understands local logistics, from the best setup locations in Smithtown’s parks to timing considerations for neighborhood events. We’ve worked everywhere from private homes near Sunken Meadow State Park to community events at local schools, adapting our service to fit Smithtown’s unique venues and regulations.
Screen size depends on your audience size and viewing distance. For backyard parties with 20-50 people, our medium screen works perfectly. Larger community events or school functions typically need our biggest screen, which accommodates up to 500 guests.
The key factor is ensuring everyone can see clearly from their seating area. Our team evaluates your space during the planning process and recommends the ideal size based on your venue layout and expected attendance. We’ve set up screens everywhere from compact Smithtown backyards to expansive park spaces, so we understand how different environments affect viewing quality.
Distance from the screen matters more than you might think. Too close and people strain their necks; too far and they miss details. Our experience with Smithtown venues helps us position everything perfectly for optimal viewing from any spot in your space.
Complete setup typically takes 45-60 minutes from arrival to ready-to-play. Our sealed-air screen technology inflates much faster than traditional systems because it doesn’t require continuous blower operation during your event.
Setup time can vary slightly based on your specific location and any unique requirements. Events at Smithtown parks might need additional coordination with local authorities, while private backyard setups usually proceed more quickly. Our team always arrives with extra time built into the schedule.
The technical testing phase is crucial and non-negotiable. We test video quality, audio levels, and all connections before your guests arrive. This thorough approach prevents technical issues during your event and ensures everything runs smoothly from the opening credits to the final scene.
Our equipment is designed for outdoor use and handles typical Long Island weather conditions, including light wind and humidity. However, safety always comes first, so we monitor weather closely and communicate with you about any concerns.
Light rain usually means postponement rather than cancellation, since electronic equipment and moisture don’t mix well. Our team helps you establish backup dates during the planning process, and we work with your schedule to reschedule when needed.
Wind is more manageable than rain, but strong gusts can affect screen stability and audio quality. We bring additional anchoring equipment for windy conditions and can make real-time adjustments to keep everything secure. Our experience with Smithtown’s coastal weather patterns helps us prepare for local conditions that inland companies might not anticipate.
Absolutely. Corporate events are a significant part of our business, from employee appreciation nights to client entertainment and product launches. We offer custom branding options that can incorporate your company logo and colors into the event setup.
Corporate events often require additional coordination with venue management, especially at Smithtown’s business parks and event spaces. Our team handles all logistics, including power requirements, setup permissions, and timing coordination with other vendors you might be using.
The professional presentation quality makes a difference for corporate audiences. Our cinema-grade projection and sound systems create an impressive experience that reflects well on your company. We’ve handled events for businesses throughout Smithtown and understand the professional standards corporate clients expect.
Yes, we provide a complete range of concession equipment to enhance your outdoor movie experience. Popcorn machines, cotton candy makers, and other carnival-style concessions are available as add-ons to your inflatable movie screen rental.
The combination of professional movie presentation with fresh concessions creates an authentic cinema atmosphere that guests love. Nothing beats the smell of fresh popcorn drifting through your outdoor venue as the movie begins.
Concession planning works best when coordinated with your overall event timeline. We help you determine the right mix of concessions based on your audience size, event duration, and venue setup. Our experience with Smithtown events helps us recommend combinations that work well for local tastes and preferences.
Booking 2-4 weeks in advance ensures availability for your preferred date, especially during peak season from late spring through early fall. Popular dates like summer weekends and school event seasons fill up quickly.
Smithtown’s active community calendar means certain weekends see multiple events competing for entertainment services. Early booking also allows time for proper planning, including venue coordination and any necessary permits for public spaces.
Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, particularly during off-peak seasons or weekdays. However, advance planning always produces better results because it allows time to address any special requirements your venue or event might have. Our scheduling system prioritizes confirmed bookings, so early commitment works in your favor.
