30 Times People Invested And Built Themselves A Totally Cool Home Movie Theater
There’s nothing better in this hard, chaotic world than gifting yourself a movie night. Whether it’s binge-watching your favorite sit-com, or seeing the new movie everyone’s talking about, nobody can take the magic away from it. Your good old couch is surely a big part of this, and out of respect, we should call the lonely, shabby sofas out there our precious "domestic movie theaters."
In reality, though, we’d give anything to own a built-in movie theater with the proper screen, dim lighting, the smell of popcorn, and cinematic decor. Bored Panda has compiled this list full of the most jaw-dropping movie theaters that put Cinemark theaters to shame.
So sit down, relax, and enjoy your popcorn. No movies will be shown at this session, but who needs them if you have your very own picture palace? Would that make you a king? Well, kinda.

Just by looking at these incredible home theaters, one can suspect there’s a real cinephile home owner behind it. For example, this amazing Batcave cinema (in the picture above) was built for a reclusive client in in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The company behind the creation is “Elite HTS,” an internationally recognized manufacturer of ultra-luxury home theater seating. According to the company’s website, this Batcave Home Theater is their most popular concept, garnering media attention on countless blogs and pins. It set the owner back $2 million.
The theater is equipped with six life-sized replica Batsuits and full security control. Elite HTS’s CEO, Bobby Bala, explained that this is still primarily a design concept the team did free of charge for their previous clients.
“While we definitely would love to actually take part in building a batcave home theater like this someday, it will remain a dream of ours until we find a reclusive billionaire with a deep-set fear of blind, flying mammals to make it a reality.”

I really like this idea... The walls could be well insulated in order to keep the massive sound inside the building. I am just imagining the Star Wars battle scenes echoing around in there... EPIC!

How to look like a "pruneau d'agen" after 2 hours in water :3
Load More Replies... Bobert Robertson 5 years ago
This one.... reminds me of years ago we took a TV outside to watch a movie in the hot tub, we were teenagers and didn't really consider the fact that we would be in a hot tub for an hour and a half. After the movie we went to bring the tv back in (one of those big heavy tube tvs) and we were so weak from sitting in hot water so long we dropped it. My buddy made a miraculous diving save, but nearly broke his back doing so. Ah the good ol days

They need an ALR screen (ambient light rejecting). It’d look almost like a normal theater picture with an ALR screen.

Perhaps a shade that draws across the ceiling (ala pool cover style) in order to dim the lighting appropriately?
