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.

Booking an Outdoor Cinema in Perth
Budgeting stays simple because one price covers the projector, PA, delivery, setup and pack-down: the 3m screen from $280 for a backyard, the 5m from $600 and the 8m for big crowds. Bean bags or the Party Pack are the only extras worth pricing in.
Compare each option on the cinema hire page, then send your date and suburb through the contact page and we will quote the total.
What to Expect on the Day
Our crew delivers, builds and tests the gear before your event, then clears it all away once the credits roll. The 3m screen is ready in roughly half an hour, and our operators run the larger community screens throughout.
What you supply, what we bring
Your side of the budget is the space, a power point and the film on your own device. Our side is the screen, projector, professional PA, cabling, delivery and setup. If you want extras, bean bags or the Party Pack are the add-ons, and the silent battery inverter suits seating that sits far from power.
What Every Hire Includes
Whatever size you pick, the quoted price stays all-inclusive: screen, matched projector, professional PA, all cabling, delivery, setup and pack-down. The 3m takes about half an hour to set up, while the larger community screens need a little longer and arrive fully operated.
What you supply
Only the space, a power point and the film on your own device, because the technical side is ours from start to finish. Where power is a walk from the seating, the silent battery inverter leaves the film as the only sound. Pick your size with our screen size guide before you compare quotes.
