I work for the Manor Theatre in Squirrel Hill and I can confirm that we do offer private theater rentals. The pricing depends on the type of film you want played (e.g. new release, film not currently in theaters, personal documentary, etc.), how many people will be attending, the time and day you want to rent, and whether you want you want the concessions and bar available (if renting outside of normal theater hours).

So there are a lot of variables on the pricing but I will say that one of the more unique things about renting there is that you can have pretty much any movie you’d like played as long as you have it in DVD format (if not a new release or filmmaker’s documentary).

For a very basic rental, say at 10am on a Monday or 11pm on a Tuesday, with only a handful of people, and you bring your own DVD, it’ll be roughly $250-300.

But if you’re interested, feel free to DM me and I’ll be happy to go over it in more detail and get you an actual quote.
