American Express Openair Cinema

Overview

Can you think of a better way to spend a muggy, summer night than to head down to St Kilda for an outdoor movie? From November 30 to December 20, American Express is bringing its outdoor cinema to Melbourne.

Movies on the big screen will include Murder on the Orient Express, Thor: Ragnorok, Bad Moms 2, Love Actually, Dirty Dancing and Elf. Fitzroy's Ladro will host a series of three-course, wine-paired dinners — on three nights, Neapolitan-style dishes and wood-fired pizza will be brought out on long dining tables for an al fresco meal.

In addition, there will be 20 events across the installation, including live music performances, DJs, trivia and a craft area with masterclasses in knitting and macrame. Every Sunday, $3 from your ticket will go to OzHarvest to provide meals for people in need. You'll also be able to make use of the bar, serving 4 Pines beer, Giesen wines, cocktails, frosé and Aperol spritz all night long.

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