You get a real cinema experience without the cinema headaches. Picture this: your guests arriving to find a massive, crystal-clear screen already set up in your space, professional sound that actually works, and that unmistakable smell of fresh popcorn filling the air.
No scrambling with complicated equipment. No wondering if the audio will cut out halfway through the movie. No dealing with neighbors complaining about noise from constantly running blowers.
Just you, your people, and a movie night that’ll have everyone talking for months. The kind of event where kids beg their parents to “do that again” and adults find themselves genuinely relaxed for the first time in weeks.
The Big Bounce Theory has been creating memorable moments for West Islip families since 2007. While other companies treat your event like just another job, we understand what it means to host something special in your own backyard.
We’ve watched this community grow. We know the parks where local movie nights happen, like Casamento Park. We understand that West Islip families value quality and reliability because we’ve been serving these same neighborhoods for over 18 years.
Licensed, insured, and locally owned. We’re not a franchise or a company that serves “everywhere.” We’re your Long Island neighbors who happen to be really good at making movie nights unforgettable.
You pick the movie, we handle everything else. It really is that straightforward.
First, we bring our sealed-air inflatable movie screen to your location. These aren’t the loud, constantly-running blower screens you might have seen elsewhere. These inflate once and stay up quietly all night. Takes minutes, not hours.
Next comes the technical setup: professional HD projector, cinema-quality sound system, and all the connections that actually work the first time. Our on-site attendant handles every detail while you focus on your guests.
Finally, we add the finishing touches. Fresh popcorn machine gets fired up, seating areas get optimized for the best viewing angles, and everything gets tested before your first guest arrives. When the movie ends, we break everything down and haul it away. You just enjoyed the show.

Every inflatable movie screen rental comes with the complete package. Three screen sizes available to fit your space and guest count, accommodating anywhere from intimate family gatherings to events with 500 people.
The technical side includes full HD audio and video systems, professional-grade projection equipment, and all necessary power connections. Our sealed-air screens mean no constant noise from running blowers during your movie.
Your dedicated attendant arrives early, handles complete setup, stays throughout your event to manage any technical needs, and takes care of full breakdown afterward. The deluxe popcorn machine comes standard, not as an expensive add-on.
West Islip residents particularly appreciate the whisper-quiet operation, especially important in residential neighborhoods where noise ordinances matter. The professional setup means your event looks polished, not like someone’s first attempt at backyard cinema.
The space requirements depend on which screen size works best for your event. Our smallest screen needs about 20×15 feet of clear space, while the largest requires roughly 40×30 feet.
More important than total space is having a relatively flat area free of overhead obstacles like tree branches or power lines. We need about 8 feet of clearance above the screen area. Most West Islip backyards, parks, and community spaces work perfectly.
We’ll do a quick site assessment when you book to make sure everything fits properly. No surprises on event day, no awkward discoveries that the screen won’t fit where you planned.
Our sealed-air screens handle typical outdoor conditions much better than traditional inflatables. Light winds and brief sprinkles won’t shut down your event like they might with other systems.
For more serious weather concerns, we work with you to reschedule rather than forcing you to lose your investment. We’ve been doing this in Long Island weather for 18 years, so we understand how quickly conditions can change.
The key is communication. We monitor weather forecasts closely as your event approaches and will reach out if we see potential issues. You’re never left guessing whether your movie night will happen.
Absolutely. Our projection equipment works for both indoor and outdoor settings, and daytime screenings are definitely possible with the right setup.
For daytime outdoor events, we recommend our larger screens and can provide additional shading if needed. Indoor venues work great, especially for corporate events, school functions, or weather backup plans.
The setup process stays the same regardless of venue. Professional equipment, on-site attendant, complete service from start to finish. We just adjust the technical specifications to match your specific location and lighting conditions.
Popular dates like summer weekends and school event seasons fill up quickly, so booking 3-4 weeks ahead gives you the best selection of available dates.
That said, we often accommodate last-minute requests when our schedule allows. West Islip events get priority since we’re local, and we understand how quickly party plans can come together.
The earlier you book, the more flexibility you have with setup times and any special requests. But don’t let short notice stop you from calling. We’ve made plenty of “impossible” timelines work for families who really needed that perfect movie night.
Our smallest screen handles intimate gatherings of 10-30 people perfectly. Think family movie nights, small birthday parties, or cozy neighborhood get-togethers.
The medium screen works well for 30-150 people. This covers most backyard parties, school events, and community gatherings. It’s our most popular size for West Islip residential events.
The largest screen is designed for 150-500 people. Perfect for corporate events, large fundraisers, or community-wide movie nights. We’ll recommend the right size based on your expected attendance and viewing distance.
You provide the movie, we provide everything else. Most families use movies they already own, streaming services, or rental platforms like Amazon Prime or Apple TV.
For larger public events, you may need to secure public performance rights depending on the movie and audience size. We can point you toward the right licensing resources if needed.
The technical side is covered completely. Our equipment connects to laptops, streaming devices, DVD players, or whatever format works best for your chosen movie. No compatibility issues, no last-minute technical scrambling.
