Your movie will be shown at its best if you allow 15 minutes after sunset before you start. Of course, sunset changes daily and it depends on where you are (and daylight saving).  See here for sunset times.

If you give us enough notice of postponement, we will change the date of your event if bad weather threatens your plans. However, we recommend you plan an alternative undercover or indoor venue, so you can still have the movie indoors and not disappoint the friends and neighbours who want to share the evening with you.
