The most common question we get is simple: how much does outdoor cinema hire in Perth actually cost? The honest answer is that it depends on your screen size, guest count, suburb and any add-ons, but the pricing is genuinely straightforward once you see it laid out. This 2026 guide breaks down every cost so you know exactly what to budget before you enquire.
Outdoor cinema hire pricing by screen size
Every package below is delivered, set up, run and packed down by us. Each one includes the screen, a cinema-grade projector, a professional sound system, and onsite management for the night. There are no weekend or public holiday surcharges and GST is included.
- 3m screen — from $280. Perfect for backyard birthdays, family movie nights and small gatherings of up to about 30 guests. Sets up in around 30 minutes and fits most suburban backyards.
- 5m community screen — from $600. Our most popular size for school fundraisers, community events and larger backyards, comfortable for up to roughly 300 guests.
- 8m community screen — from $1,100. The big one for major community and corporate events, with dual-sub sound, suitable for crowds up to about 1,200.
What is included in every booking
The price you see is the price you pay. Every outdoor cinema hire in Perth includes the inflatable or framed screen, the projector, a professional PA sound system, all cabling, full delivery, setup and packdown, and an operator who stays to make sure the night runs smoothly. You bring the guests and the movie choice, we handle the rest.
Travel and delivery
Delivery is included for most metro bookings. On the 3m screen the first 20km from Kwinana is free, with travel charged at a small per-kilometre rate beyond that. Larger screens and regional events (Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton) are quoted with travel included so there are no surprises. Use the suburb price finder for your exact delivered figure.
Add-ons and extras
- Bean bags — $11 per bag for 24 hours, free delivery with a screen. Seven colours.
- Party pack (smoke machine, bubble machine and laser) — $250.
- Silent battery inverter or generator — $150, fuel or charge included, for venues without reliable power.
- Popcorn machine, fairy lights and projector upgrades are all available, just ask when you enquire.
Example outdoor cinema hire costs in Perth
A backyard birthday with a 3m screen and ten bean bags lands around $390 delivered. A school fundraiser with the 5m community screen sits near $600 before any add-ons, and usually pays for itself many times over through ticket sales. A large community event on the 8m screen with power and bean bags is typically $1,300 to $1,500 all in.

What to Expect on the Day
We deliver, set up and test everything before your event, then pack down after, so the night runs itself. The 3m screen takes about half an hour to set up, and the larger community screens come fully operated by our team.
What you supply, what we bring
You supply the space, a power point and the film through your own device. We bring the screen, projector, professional PA, cabling, delivery and setup. Add bean bags or the Party Pack to lift the night, and ask about the silent battery inverter where power is far from the seating.
What Every Hire Includes
Whichever screen you choose, the price is all-inclusive: the screen, a matched projector, a professional PA, all cabling, delivery, setup and pack-down. The 3m sets up in about half an hour; the larger community screens take a little longer and come fully operated.
What you supply
Just the space, a power point and the film through your own device. Everything technical is ours to bring, set up and run. For sites where power is a walk away, the silent battery inverter keeps the only sound the film itself. Our screen size guide helps you match the screen to your crowd.
