Nothing says family fun more than popcorn and a film together. However, with movie ticket prices jumping to a record high, many people are investing in custom home theaters to bring the fun of the movies straight to the comfort and convenience of their living rooms. Here are a few ways to ensure family movie night at home is successful. 

3 Tips to Upgrade Family Movie Night

1. Pick a Theme

A theme can make family movie night a memorable event. You can lay blue or green towels down to create an “ocean floor” or “grassy meadow,” make spooky treats for a Halloween fright night, or even use face paint and costumes as a way to dress up like the characters. Picking a theme can also make it easier to narrow down a movie choice. Use games like rock paper scissors to decide which family member gets to pick the next theme, or rotate between family members each week. 

2. Buy the Right Equipment

A new TV or projector, sound system, and comfortable seating can turn any living area into a custom home theater. Kids will feel like they’re at the movies, while parents can enjoy a more cost-effective night in. High-tech features like universal remote control programming, audio and video calibration, and smart home automation can make it even easier to enjoy the fun and focus on the family rather than fiddling with the remote.

3. Make It Interactive 

Movies are always more fun when the viewers feel like they’re participating. Make the night more interactive by creating fun games to do together. For example, if the character on screen makes a funny face, challenge everyone in the room to make the same expression. Or, count how many times a character says their signature catchphrase. This can keep children more engaged, hold their attention for the duration of the movie, and keep them off their phone or tablet.
