Drive-in theatres replaced drive-thru theatres, known for their bargain-priced, no-frills versions of popular films, such as One Man and a Baby and Star War. Watch movies outdoors without cutting corners with today’s Groupon to Fresh Air Cinema. Choose between the following options:
- For $150, you get $500 toward an outdoor movie-screen rental package for a private event.
- For $99, you get $500 toward an outdoor movie-screen rental package for a public event.
Fresh Air Cinema transforms backyards, parks, and other outdoor spaces into open-air movie theatres equipped with giant inflatable screens, projectors, sound systems, and a production crew to run things. For private screenings, Fresh Air Cinema's 8'x10' screen ($499 weekdays, $599 weekends) grants cinematic access to up to 20 pairs of eyeballs, and the 22'x28' screen ($2,000 weekdays, $2,500 weekends) can oblige 750 viewers for public events. Hyperbolic hootenannies, meanwhile, can take advantage of the jumbo 44'x31' screen ($3,000 weekdays, $3,500 weekends), designed to accommodate up to 3,000 viewers or two schools of orca movie buffs. Each air-filled screen comes accompanied by up to 10 high-wattage speakers, a digital projector, an audio mixer, a PA system, an additional power source, and hundreds of giant, two-dimensional actors.
Fresh Air's experienced crew takes care of all the set-up and removal, as well as movie projection and astral projection. To turn parking lots into drive-in theatres, Fresh Air supplies a dedicated FM transmitter so that viewers can watch and listen to films from their cars. Staff members can also project video games and connect to live broadcasts of hockey, football, and extreme canasta. While additional film licensing and public-performance rights ($150–$650) are not included in this Groupon and are required for public screenings, Fresh Air helps usher clients through the necessary channels and bureaucratic canals.

The Groupon Guide to: Family Vacations
With the economy leaving families in such a sour state, it behooves a household to squeeze every moment of togetherness possible out of a vacation. Here’s a guide to getting the most out of your next familial trip:
- Nothing annoys dads more than constant restroom stops, so be sure to spend the week before the trip going to the bathroom.
- Even though you’re excited, don't wake your dad too early. He needs to conserve enough energy for driving the car in the right direction and constantly threatening to turn it around.
- Do not ask your parents where ice cream comes from. Also don’t ask where Dippin’ Dots come from, because the answer is obviously the future.
- Sure, whatever, here's some money.
- Take a lot of family pictures. One day, Dad will be able to silently stare at them, wondering where the time has gone. The phone rings. It is a man selling credit cards….
