Overview

Can you think of a better way to spend a muggy, summer night than heading down to St Kilda for an outdoor movie? From February 21 to March 17, American Express is letting you do just that when it brings its outdoor cinema to Melbourne's CBD for the first time.

The new Yarra Park spot is the newest location for the pop-up cinema, which is hosting outdoor events in 12 locations across Australia and New Zealand this year. Movies on these big screens will include just-released hits like award-winning Bohemian RhapsodyLady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born, the Jason Momoa-led Aquaman and a beefed up Christian Bale as former Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice.

Fitzroy's Ladro will once again be slinging its woodfired pizza, and a bar, serving Urban Alley brews, Giesen wines, Pimm's and Black Devil Cider, will keep your thirst quenched all night long. Champagne and Haagen Dazs will also be on hand in case you want something extra after your meal.

In addition, there will be 25 events across the installation, including live music performances, DJs and trivia.

Oh, and it's a dog-friendly space, so you don't need to leave part of your family at home. Plus if you're an Amex user you'll get 15 percent off select tickets, plus a lounger and bites for the movie.
