Overview

It isn't hard to find somewhere in Sydney showing movies under the stars over summer. Moonlight Cinema, Westpac Openair Cinema, Laneway Cinema at The Rocks, Mov'In Bed Barangaroo Beach Cinema, Sunset Cinema: they're among your choices. In January, the Warner Bros Discovery Open Air Cinema at Darling Quarter is another option, and it comes with one big point of difference: it's all about flicks from Warner Bros Discovery.

This year's season runs until Sunday, January 26 — and you have choices before it wraps up for the year. When you're not watching The Blind Side, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice or Miss Congeniality, you can check out The Lego Batman Movie, Man of Steel and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. There's also DC League of Super-Pets and three Harry Potter films (The Half-Blood Prince and the two Deathly Hallows movies).

As well as focusing on Warner Bros titles, this cinema also comes with an excellent price: $0. Entry to see the films is free, but you will need your wallet if you want a beanbag or picnic rug rather than just a patch of grass to sit on. And, you'll be paying for anything that you eat and drink, including getting click-and-collect dishes from Vesta Italian, Noodle Face, Braza Churrascaria, Kürtosh, Gelatissimo, Doodee King, Ichoume', Dopa and MuMian Dining.

While entry is free, you do need to reserve your spot to whichever of the screenings you'd like to attend in advance online — and some have already sold out. Screening start times vary, kicking off between 6–6.30pm, and then between 8.15–9pm if there's a second session on the same evening.
