As the temperature rises, families begin to look for fun and interesting ways to spend the long summer weekends. With kids out of school, parents are scrambling to find fun, affordable and entertaining ways to pass the time and what better way to beat the heat than with a Family Movie Night?
But forget about the way YOU remember family movie nights, crowded around a small TV watching whatever “family movie” happened to be running on cable.
It’s time to up the ante with a world-class family movie night — on a budget nearly anyone can afford.
Backyard Movie Night
As more and more families are exploring “staycations” as an alternative to costly vacations, backyard movie nights are becoming increasingly popular. 
All it takes is a great batch of movies (choose from classics or favorites that you own, or plan ahead a bit and grab an inexpensive rental from Netflix or your local Redbox) and a projector rental from Projector123.com
Afraid you can’t afford a projector rental for the weekend? Then this might surprise you:
In 2008, the average cost of a movie ticket was around $7. For a family of 4, that equates to $28 in admission cost only.
Add a large popcorn, 4 sodas and candy, and that brings the total closer to $50 or more.
(Leaving the kids at home wouldn’t help much, as babysitting can cost upwards of $12 per hour, plus food)
Would it surprise you to know that you could rent a projector from Projector123.com for the whole weekend starting at just $99?
Invite over some friends and neighbors, and you’ve got yourself quite a gathering.
This summer, why not start a new tradition? Get together with a group of your friends — say 4 or 6 families, and each family can take turns renting the projector. You could even choose themes for each gathering — favorite animated films, action movies, classics, chick flicks, you name it.
Go ahead, go crazy. Here at Projector123.com, we’re ready for you.
