Chill Theaters

Chill Theaters provides private, luxury mobile movie theaters for rent, delivering a cinematic experience directly to customers. Founded by serial entrepreneur Balaji Krishnan, the company launched in early 2024 and operates in the San Francisco Bay Area. The idea originated from Krishnan's desire to watch movies on a big screen without the restrictions of a traditional theater, such as not being able to bring his dog. He started by converting a trailer for personal use, and after receiving positive feedback, he launched the company.

The service operates on an hourly rental model, with a three-hour minimum, where customers can book a 32-foot luxury trailer to be brought to their location. These trailers are equipped with a 100-inch 4K OLED screen, a Klipsch sound system, lounge seating for 10-15 people, a minibar, kitchen, and a private restroom. The environment is soundproof and climate-controlled. Clients can watch content from any streaming service by logging into their own accounts or use the provided video game consoles like PS5 and Xbox. This makes the service suitable for various events, including birthday parties, gaming sessions, and watching live sports.

Chill Theaters' business model is based on per-hour rental fees, with prices starting from $9 per person per hour for standard use and increasing for premium events. They also offer party packages that can include extras like pizza, cupcakes, face painting, or a balloon artist. While customers can bring their own food and drinks, snacks and beverages are also available for purchase. The company's vision includes expanding its services to become a permanent amenity for apartment complexes and hotels.
