If there’s one thing we learned last year, it’s the simple joy of the perfectly curated backyard movie night. Plus, as more big-time blockbusters make their premieres on streamers, such as “Black Widow” on Disney Plus, or “Tomorrow War” on Amazon Prime, you might be spending more time watching the movies from home rather than the theater. While the outdoor home movie theater seems like an easy set up, the beauty is in the details.
It’s important to have the right setting and ambience for every film. Fourth of July is the perfect time to set up a DIY outdoor movie theater if you plan on having people over for the sunny, three-day weekend. Once you’re done grilling, pop up the projector for some post-meal entertainment.
From a portable popcorn maker and snack box to projectors and surround-sound speakers, here’s everything you need to construct the perfect outdoor movie theater. For more deals on home entertainment, check out the list we rounded up. Courtesy of Amazon Topvision’s portable projector is considered one of the best for constructing an at-home cinema.
LED lighting provides 85% more brightness than other projectors and even has built-in HI-FI stereo speakers that offer powerful sound. Otherwise, you can hook it up with external speakers for an immersive audio experience, made even better by a newly-equipped dual-fan system that drowns out external noise for the perfect viewing experience. Plus, this one comes with a portable 100-inch screen so you can set up a movie night right in your backyard, camping or inside the house.
