Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema Christmas Classics
Get festive with 'Die Hard', 'Love Actually' and 'Elf' under the stars at Brisbane's only permanent year-round outdoor cinema.
Overview
In 2023, Brisbane scored a new place to watch movies under the stars all year round — not just in summer. Brisbane Powerhouse had played host to openair picture palaces before, but it permanently became home to Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema, which takes advantage of the fact that the weather is usually nice enough to catch a flick outside in the River City every month from January through to December.
There's something about seeing a movie outdoors and the warmest part of the year, though — and, when the season hits, getting merry with your cinemagoing, too. So, across December, Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema is putting a few Christmas classics through its projector. Whether you've been nice or naughty this year, there's a film for you.
Yes, Die Hard is a Christmas flick. Yes, it's on the lineup on Sunday, December 8, so that you can say "yippee-ki-yay" to the jolliest time of year. Nothing's quite as festive as Bruce Willis (Assassin) doing his thing in this late 80s slice of explosive excellence.
After that, Elf will hit the screen on Saturday, December 14, followed by Love Actually on Friday, December 20. Can't choose between Will Ferrell (The Boys) at his silliest and sweetest or a British rom-com? You don't have to.
