American Express Openair Cinema Bondi 2019

Can you think of a better way to spend a muggy, summer night than with an outdoor movie and quality food in Bondi? From January 24 to March 3, American Express is bringing its outdoor cinema to Sydney's coastline.

Bondi hosted the original American Express Openair Cinema 15 years ago, and now it's getting an upgrade. It has moved into a new — shaded from the wind — location at the Bondi Pavilion. And this year, it'll sport two screens.

Movies on these big screens will include just-released hits like Bad Times at the El Royale, Lady 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.

Salt Meats Cheese will be supplying the movie bites, with a daily menu of antipasti and woodfired pizza, and drinks will be on offer from 4Pines, Pimm's, Giesen Wines and Black Devil Cider. In addition, there will be more than 40 events across the installation, including live music performances, DJs and trivia

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 selected tickets, plus a blanket.
