Why would you sit in your car for a entire movie? Just go inside. But you could just get another car battery and run two of them together, but then you will need a bigger altanator as well.

Re: Extra battery??? (Steezn4NOReason)
here's what i done in a mates motor (BMW, but the principles are the same)
i took a live from the battery, and ran it to the boot. if you have an amp power wire, convert this to suit, saving time. then i put in a split charge relay in the trunk, earthed to the chassis. i then ran a live fron the split charge relay to a caravan (trailer home) leisure battery, also in the trunk. this was also earthed to the chassis. you then power all amplifiers, head units, graphic equilizers, dvd players & screens from this. the only issue you will find is that you cannot use this setup and still have your radio turn off with the ignition unless you install a relay which switches a feed from the leisure battery to the ignition + in the main head unit, and is powered (or switched by if yo like) the origional ignition + feed already in the car.
