Movie Theater Insurance

Every policy a movie theater needs — in one place, from specialists who know the business.

General Liability Insurance

General liability is the cornerstone of cinema insurance. It protects you against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims from the hundreds or thousands of patrons who move through your dark auditoriums, lobbies, and stairways every week.

  • Patron slip-and-fall & trip injuries
  • Crowd & premises liability
  • Third-party property damage
  • Assault & battery endorsement

Commercial Property Insurance

Commercial property insurance covers the physical assets that make your theater run — the building, screens, sound systems, seating, concession kitchen, and signage — against fire, water damage, vandalism, theft, and severe weather.

  • Building & tenant build-out
  • Screens, seating & fixtures
  • Projection & sound systems
  • Concession & kitchen equipment

Business Interruption Insurance

Business interruption (business income) insurance replaces the revenue you lose when a covered event shuts your theater down. For a business with high fixed costs and blockbuster-dependent revenue, it can be the difference between reopening and closing for good.

  • Lost net income replacement
  • Continuing expenses (rent, payroll)
  • Extra expense to reopen faster
  • Civil authority coverage
Full coverage details

Liquor Liability Insurance

If your theater serves alcohol, liquor liability (dram shop) insurance is non-negotiable. It protects you when an intoxicated patron you served later causes injury or damage — a claim your general liability policy specifically excludes.

  • Dram shop liability
  • Third-party injury & property damage
  • Alcohol-related assault & battery
  • Legal defense costs
Full coverage details

Equipment Breakdown Insurance

Equipment breakdown insurance covers the sudden, accidental failure of the systems your theater depends on — digital projectors, sound, HVAC, and concession equipment — including the lost income and spoiled food that follow.

  • Digital projector & lamp failure
  • Sound system breakdown
  • HVAC & refrigeration failure
  • Concession & kitchen equipment
Full coverage details

Workers Compensation Insurance

Workers comp is mandatory in nearly every state once you hire employees. It pays medical costs and lost wages when a member of your theater staff — usher, concession worker, projectionist, or manager — is injured on the job.

  • Medical expense coverage
  • Lost wage replacement
  • Concession & kitchen injuries
  • Permanent disability & death benefits
Full coverage details

Commercial Umbrella Insurance

A commercial umbrella extends your liability limits when a serious claim exceeds your primary coverage. For high-traffic theaters and dine-in operations with alcohol exposure, an umbrella provides essential catastrophic protection.

  • Excess general liability limits
  • Excess liquor liability
  • Excess employer's liability
  • $1M–$10M additional protection
