An outdoor theatre is made up of a digital or analogue movie projector, a scaffolded or inflated movie screen, a large and luxurious seating arrangement and a sound system.

The first outdoor movie theatre was opened in Berlin, Germany, in about 1916. Many “rooftop theatres” were then converted to movie theatres in the 1920s. 

On couches, beds or camping chairs, viewers typically watch a few Hollywood world premieres in outdoor theatres, occasionally with celebrities in attendance. 

As of 2015, there were at least 90 of these cinemas running in Athens, making them particularly popular during the summer months in Greece. In the 1960s, the city had more than 600 outdoor movie theatres at its height.
