A cinema should have probably checked the weather forecast before organising an open-air event.

In what could only be described as a tragedy a video showed air mattresses being blown away before the film had even played.

The beds had been put out in a park in Denver, United States, on Saturday, for an event called The Bed Cinema.

Cinemagoers were expected to relax on the mattresses while enjoying a screening of Back to the Future.


Robb Manes, who filmed the spectacle, was at a nearby public pool when he noticed the beds being blown away.

Mr Maines said: ‘We were hanging out at the pool when, suddenly, a mattress flew into the fenced-in area.



‘When a second and third one came in, we stood up, I grabbed my camera, and this is what we saw.’

Mr Maines was very pleased with himself after referring to the incident as the ‘great mattress migration of 2019’.

The pop-up Bed Cinema wrote in an advert for the event: ‘Starting in August, you can snuggle up in one of over 150 double beds with pillows, blankets and have an LED-lit bedside table at your side to hold your snacks and drinks while you watch a film.’
