NEW YORK — The drive-in theater may be a fond memory of a bygone era; however, the mystique of outdoor movies is still alive and well. Open Air Cinema announced a whole new way to enjoy the thrills and fun of movies under the stars with its CineBox Home outdoor theater system.

CineBox Home comes equipped with everything needed for a backyard movie night including new patent-pending 10-foot or 12-foot inflatable movie screen. The product is perfect for the concept of a “staycation” where families stay close to home and spend time together rather than suffering from high travel-related expenses.

“People are staying home and looking for ways to make their family and neighborhood activities more fun — and what better way to do it than an outdoor movie night?” said Stuart Farmer, CEO of Open Air Cinema. “We rip the roof off the home theater and take it outside. Our system is easier to set up than a pup tent and when deflated, the 123-inch movie screen weighs about eight pounds and fits inside a duffle bag, which you can take anywhere.”

Open Air Cinema manufactures its screens under the highest of standards to ensure quality, durability and ease of use. Set-up is a snap. Simply use the near-silent blower fan to inflate the screen (30 seconds), plug in the CineBox, pop in a movie and you’re all set for big-screen, backyard movie-under-the-stars action.

The CineBox Home kit is available now through Amazon.com and soon through major retailers nationwide.

Screen pricing starts at $399 for the 10-foot screen. Options include purchasing the screen only, the screen and projector, screen and audio or the complete package, which starts at $1,499.
