FunFlicks

What FunFlicks does

FunFlicks is a US-based outdoor movie screen rental company founded in 2007 and operating a franchise/licensee network that spans all 50 states plus Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. The company provides turnkey event production services combining equipment delivery, professional setup, on-site technical support, and teardown, primarily serving residential consumers, multi-family housing communities, schools, parks and recreation departments, churches, and corporate clients. The business is positioned as a national alternative to local one-off AV rental providers, with claims of operating 500+ portable movie screens and producing over 5,000 events in a single season.

The core technology stack comprises two product lines. The legacy inflatable screen line uses self-inflating projection screens ranging from 12ft to 50ft wide, deployed with high-definition laser projectors (EPSON EB-PU series), concert-grade sound systems (Mackie Thump speakers), and FM transmission for drive-in audio. The newer LED line includes IP65-rated mobile screen trailers (8x5 to 23x13 feet) with 4.1mm pixel pitch, onboard generators, and hydraulic lifting, plus modular LED walls configurable in flat, curved, cube, and sphere shapes with pixel pitches from 1.9mm to 6.5mm. Premium inflatable screens are sourced from Airscreen with patented wind-stability features rated up to 24 mph.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) transaction-based equipment rental, with packages ranging from approximately $299 for small backyard events to $2,999 for 50-foot drive-in installations, each including delivery, setup, removal, and a FunFlicks Host technician; (2) direct hardware sales of inflatable screens ($1,490-$14,085) to operators and end customers; (3) franchise/licensee fees from a nationwide network of family-owned local operators; and (4) movie licensing facilitation through partnerships with Swank Motion Pictures, Criterion Pictures, and Angel Studios. Customer mix spans long-tail residential and SMB volume with occasional enterprise accounts (Coca-Cola, AT&T, BMW, Hilton, Amazon).

Revenue model

1. Equipment Rental Services: FunFlicks generates primary revenue through renting inflatable screens, LED trailers, projectors, and sound equipment for events. Rental packages include delivery, setup, removal, and an on-site technician. Pricing varies by screen type, size, location, and event duration.
2. Equipment Sales: FunFlicks sells inflatable movie screens (Airscreen, AeroPro, A-Frame models) and associated audiovisual equipment (projectors, consoles, speakers). Screens range from $1,490 to $14,085 depending on size and model.
3. Movie Licensing Facilitation: FunFlicks facilitates movie licensing through partner companies (Swank Motion Pictures, Criterion Pictures, Angel Studios) but does not collect licensing fees directly. Revenue opportunity comes from bundled service provision at licensed events.
4. Franchise/Licensee Network: FunFlicks operates as a national network of family-owned licensed businesses. Local operators pay franchise/ licensing fees for brand, equipment access, marketing support, and operational guidance.
