The Westpac OpenAir Cinema, a key staple of Sydney summers, is making an extremely welcome comeback; taking over Mrs Macquaries Point from January 9th, 2024 to February 18th, 2024.

While the full program of filmic heat won’t be announced until the end of November, we already know the first three hotly-anticipated movies being screened:

  • Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II starring Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington
  • The Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-headlined adaptation of Wicked
  • Indie darling and Academy Award frontrunner Anora directed by Sean Baker (it’s already won the 2024 Cannes Palme d’Or)

Aside from a 350-square-metre screen with a backdrop featuring both the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and what promises to be some cracking summer weather, you can also expect pre-show DJs, as well as an impressive selection of food and beverage options.

In previous years, notable names such as Kitchen By Mike’s Mike McEnearney have masterminded the latter. So you can imagine the quality of grub we’re in for.

Tickets for the 2025 Westpac OpenAir Cinema will officially be available from December 9th, 2024; and will likely sell out quick as with previous years. For reference, back in 2018, over 40,000 tickets were sold within the first two days of pre-sale.

Keep an eye out here for when the full line-ups of films, food, and what have you are revealed in the coming weeks.
