Mov'In Bed Barangaroo Beach Cinema
Catch up on classics and 2025's biggest movies on mattresses on the sand at Barangaroo.
Overview
Once, watching a movie in bed meant getting cosy indoors with whatever you choose to view on a small screen. Then Mov'In Bed came along. It takes the idea that catching a flick and lazing around on a mattress can go hand in hand, embraces it, and moves it outdoors. The crew behind it have delivered variations, too — on boats in Darling Harbour, in cars on Entertainment Quarter's rooftop and on sand at Barangaroo.
Mov'In Bed initially debuted its outdoor beach cinema in January 2024. Unsurprisingly, it proved popular. Accordingly, Mov'In Bed Outdoor Cinema is returning to Harbour Park for another summer — this time for a hefty four-month run between Friday, November 28, 2025 through to April 2026.
The concept behind Mov'In Bed has always answered a question: can't choose between hitting up an outdoor cinema or watching a film in bed? Here, you don't have to. The outdoor beach setup stacks on another layer to that equation like it's building a sandcastle. Can't pick between flicks under the stars, going to the beach or being cosy? Again, this is the solution.
Here's how it works: you can park up on a king or queen-size mattress, or you can bring a towel to recline on on the sand. Whatever sits between you and all of those white grains beneath your feet, you'll be getting comfortable on top while peering at the 15-metre 4K screen silver screen and listening in via noise-cancelling headphones.
The movie lineup features big names from 2025's cinema releases, including Regretting You, Tron: Ares, Twinless, One Battle After Another, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Wicked: For Good, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Now You See Me: Now You Don't and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Given that the season runs over Christmas, yes, Elf and Love Actually, Home Alone, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Die Hard (yes, it's a Christmas movie) are on the bill as well. More movies will be announced for the beach club-style cinema, sticking to the above mix — so recent favourites and classics.
This time around, there'll be 150 queen- and king-sized beds, all with pillows and blankets. Prices start at $12 if you're happy sitting on your own towel — and go up to $75 for a VIP package that includes sparkling wine, butler service, unlimited gourmet popcorn and a premium view of the screen.
