Sunset Cinema North Sydney 2021–22

Overview

Backyard cricket, barbecues and water sports are all Aussie summer clichés for a reason: they're good, wholesome fun. Another one? Outdoor cinemas. And we're here to tell you the very good news that North Sydney's version of this al fresco activity is returning for another season. Sunset Cinema is once again taking over North Sydney Oval from Thursday, December 16–Saturday, March 26.

Whether you're planning a cosy date night or easy family outing under the stars, this season's program has something for everyone — with the cinema releasing its lineup in batches. So far, the film selection spans December through til mid-February kicking off with Christmas flicks ('tis the season to watch Home Alone, Love Actually and Die Hard under the stars, clearly).

Other titles getting a whirl include Dirty Dancing, Don't Look Up, Encanto, The Greatest Showman, The French Dispatch and The Card Counter — plus No Time to Die, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, West Side Story, House of Gucci, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home, too.

BYO picnics are encouraged, but if you want to enjoy a sparkling, cocktail or brew throughout the film, the onsite bar will be serving a range of drinks. Didn't pack enough snacks? There'll be hot food options, which you can order online and then pickup, plus plenty of the requisite movie treats like chips, chocolates, lollies and popcorn.

Tickets start at $21 for adults, and you can hire a foldout chair for $6, a bean bag for $10 and a lawn lounge for $22.
