Weather is the biggest variable in planning any outdoor event. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change the weather however there are ways to plan for it and Blazing Star Cinema utilizes the latest technology to stay current with local weather conditions.
Wind speed is also a concern. The inflatable screens can safely handle wind speeds up to 20 mph (the speed at which trees start to sway vigorously). We need wind speeds of less than 15 mph in order to inflate the screen. Should the winds exceed 23 mph, our technicians will deflate the movie screen and wait for the winds to calm for an extended period of time before inflating again. Inflation and Deflation takes only about one minute.
It is strongly recommended to have an indoor location ready as a backup in case weather conditions prohibit an outdoor event.

We closely monitor current and forecasted weather conditions starting the day before your event. Our number one concern is for the safety of everyone in attendance and secondly of our equipment. If the forecast includes severe weather or a 50% or greater chance of rain we will contact you by 10 AM, event day, to discuss your options.
If your event is canceled for a weather related issue anytime after travel to your venue has begun two fees will be charged for the make-up event:
1. Travel costs associated with the returning to your venue at the rate of the $1.25 per mile round-trip if more then 50 miles from zip code 60585
2. A $100 weather related cancellation fee to cover employee time
If inclement weather prevents the complete screening of the film, where less than 50% of the film has been presented, and if there is no appropriate indoor back-up venue, the Service Provider guarantees the Event Organizer one make-up event within one year of the original event date, depending on availability.
The Service Provider shall be entitled to cancel the screening of the movie due to inclement weather prior to or during the movie. If the weather looks threatening (imminent rain, rain, looming thunder clouds, dangerous winds capable of damaging equipment), the Service Provider reserves the right to protect its own equipment by canceling the presentation of the film.
No refunds will be made for the initial payments. Expiration of this credit will occur one year after the original event date.
