Renting the Theater

We will staff the theater for your event. Concessions can be available for purchase at the front counter or you can purchase a concession package.

Total cost: $150 for up to 2 hours.
Additional hours can be added for $50 per hour.

Showing a Movie at Your Event

Dragonfly Cinema is a fully licensed and operational movie theater. Consequently, it is illegal for us to show any studio distributed movies in the theater without proper licensing. If there is a particular movie that you would like to show at your event, we can secure the licensing rights to that movie on your behalf. The cost to secure these rights is typically $250, but it will vary slightly depending on the movie and the studio.
If you would like a private showing on a Wednesday or Thursday of a movie we have scheduled over the weekend, the costs are much lower. We have already paid the licensing fee and whatever we show on a given weekend can be shown the following week at no extra cost to you.
Alternatively, you can secure the rights to the movie yourself if the movie is from an independent studio or smaller house. If you do, we will need to see a copy of the licensing agreement prior to your event.

Providing Concessions for your Guests

An additional option to consider is offering free concessions to your guests when they come to your special event. Although cake is allowed in the lobby for birthday parties, we do not allow outside food in the theaters. We can provide all concessions for up to 90 people.

However, we cannot charge admission at the concessions counter using our registers.
