The beloved Moonlight Cinema is back in Brisbane for another summer season! Brush off your picnic blankets, breathe in the balmy night air, and look forward to box office blockbusters, family favourites and heartwarming holiday flicks!
Summer blockbusters
The opening weeks of this year’s program will bring new releases for every kind of night. Starting things off with a bang, the cinema will open with the much-anticipated Hunger Games instalment, Sunrise on the Reaping.
You can also catch other book adaptations like Klara and the Sun, and Verity, not to mention long-awaited sequels such as Practical Magic 2, and Focker in Law.
Plus, catch exclusive preview screenings of A Talent for Murder and Cat in the Hat!
Holiday program
We all know what you came here for: their festive, nostalgic holiday program! Enjoy two weeks of beloved ‘Christmas Favourites’ in the lead up to Christmas, from Friday, December 11 to Wednesday, December 23 with classics such as Home Alone, Love Actually and Elf playing on several different dates, and brand-new Ebenezer bringing some humbug to the screen.
What else can you look forward to?
Each Moonlight Cinema location will have their own kitchens, bars, on-site activations and bean bags. Look forward to things like:
- GWM Gold Grass – Get great views and waiter service, with food and drink delivered straight to your bean bag.
- Connoisseur Lounge – Love ice cream? This option is for you. Receive a Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream stick and settle in to a bean bag in a reserved area.
- Delicious eats from popcorn to tacos, and cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks to sip on.
How should I prepare?
If you’re not hiring a bean bag, you’re welcome to pack your own picnic rug and sprawl out across the lawn for a perfect night at the movies. Avoid any pesky bugs by wearing insect repellent, and bring a blanket or wear layers to keep you warm.
This is a dog-friendly experience, so you’re welcome to bring your pooch for company as long as they’re well-behaved.
