Frequently Asked Questions




Discover Washington DC theater rental spaces

From intimate screening rooms to box office venues, movie theaters are a familiar part of the entertainment landscape. While Washington, D.C. is best known for history and politics you'll find activity options on par with any major American city. Most of us go to a movie theater and share space with the general public. But did you know that most theaters can also be reserved for special events?

Movie theater rentals for special events in Washington DC

People reserve movie theaters for many reasons! A bachelor party can be made even more memorable by reserving a private theater for the evening. Company team building events often feature a movie. Wedding receptions, family reunions, and anniversary parties may show short films filled with fond memories. Or you could gather a bunch of friends together for a movie night in an especially spacious venue.
Movie theaters in Washington, D.C. for rent include familiar box office brands like AMC Theatres. They offer party packages for kids birthdays, corporate celebrations, and other events. You can include concession access at a significant discount and the venue will be yours for the entire film. Unfortunately, you can't choose to have custom content displayed but at least your group can make as much noise as they like!
If you're looking to hire a theater for non box-office films, consider an indie movie theater in DC. The Avalon is Washington DC's oldest movie theater at a century old. They specialize in independent and foreign films. It is also an event venue, with two theaters open for reservations. Unlike box office theaters, The Avalon allows guests to screen their own content in a variety of formats. Originally built in 1922, The Avalon's distinctive interior makes it a premiere option for lovers of historic architecture. The theaters seat 130 or 402 guests, making them suitable for both intimate and large-scale gatherings!

Explore private theater rentals in Washington DC

The best way to make an event memorable is to make it a private one! We recommend reserving a private screening room if you have a small group of people and want to keep the event intimate. You can rent intimate theaters and screening rooms inside hotels, museums, art galleries, and community centers. Luxury homes, estates, and mansions may also have a screening room for films. By booking a vacation home, you'll often have the entire venue open to your special event as well, making them some of the most flexible event spaces out there.

Midtown Studio Theater
Really enjoyed using this space. Access was easy, the host was attentive, and it was a great feeling theater for a film screening. For filmmakers, one small note would be that the projector is a bit dim, so colors and exposure aren’t quite as vivid for a screening. But...
