Capacity bottleneck

systems vs labor
Business planning only. This tool models costs and capacity only. It does not provide weather-operation, wind, anchoring, electrical, projection, sound, crowd, venue, accessibility, public-performance/media-rights, licensing or event-safety instructions. Resolve those requirements separately with the applicable manufacturers, venues, rights holders and professionals.

The screen is only one part of the rentable system

An outdoor movie event can consume projector, audio, control gear, transport cases and paid operator time in addition to the screen itself. Separating screen recovery from AV recovery shows whether the whole system is earning its way back.

Capacity requires a complete system

Extra screens do not create a second booking without the required AV package and crew. This calculator treats capacity as complete bookable systems, then compares that inventory ceiling with paid crew-hours.
