How Much Does It Cost to Rent an Inflatable Movie Screen in Colorado Springs?

Short answer: $200 to $600+ for most events. Here is exactly what each price gets you, what moves the number up or down, and the one cost people forget.

Our prices at a glance

Package	Screen	Time	Price	Best for
DIY Rent A Screen	20′ inflatable	6 hours	$200	Backyards and smaller groups who don’t mind running it
Nebula	20′ inflatable, fully hosted	6 hours	From $350	HOAs, schools, churches and medium crowds
Optimus	35′ inflatable (30′ × 16′ picture)	8 hours	From $600	Big crowds, festivals and corporate events

Every package includes a pro-grade inflatable screen, a high-lumen HD projector, sound and a DVD/Blu-ray player or streaming device. Nebula and Optimus add setup, takedown and onsite staff so you never touch a cable.

What changes the price

Screen size. The jump from a 20-foot to a 35-foot screen is the biggest single factor. Bigger screen, bigger projector, bigger sound.
Hands-on vs. hands-off. DIY saves money because you run the night. Hosted packages include a tech for the whole event.
Date and time. Summer Fridays and Saturdays book first. Weeknights are easier to get.
Distance. “From” prices cover most of the Colorado Springs area. Farther trips can add travel.
Add-ons. Popcorn and candy, drive-in FM audio, a full PA system or console games are priced per event.

The cost people forget: movie licensing

If your movie night is public (an HOA, school, church, brewery or park), you need a public screening license, even when admission is free and even if you own the DVD. License pricing depends on the film, the crowd size, the venue and the date. A private backyard party with invited guests usually doesn’t need one.

We help every public event sort out its license. Slideshows, presentations, home videos and games never need one.

DIY or full service?

Choose DIY ($200) if it’s a backyard night, you’re comfortable plugging in a laptop or streaming stick, and you’d rather put the savings toward pizza.

Choose Nebula or Optimus if you’re hosting more than a few dozen people, you’re the organizer (not the tech), or the event is public and you want it to run perfectly.

Ways to spend less

Pick a weeknight or a date early or late in the season.
Split the cost: neighbors, a PTA, or an HOA social budget.
Use your own content (games, sports or a slideshow) to skip licensing entirely.
Book early. Peak summer weekends fill up.
