Westpac OpenAir 2026
Sydney's most beautiful outdoor cinema is returning for 2026 with a standout program and food from top Sydney chefs.
Overview
It's that time again, Sydneysiders: time for movies to compete with Mrs Macquaries Point's stunning view of Sydney Harbour. Every summer, the scenic spot's vista over the water, city, Opera House and Harbour Bridge gets a 350-square-metre screen showing the latest and greatest flicks — all thanks to Westpac OpenAir.
There are plenty of outdoor cinema options in Sydney come summertime, but none can hold a candle to the scenery and luxe experience of Westpac OpenAir. Plus, it's a hell of a lot more than just a cinema. Forget popcorn and choc-tops; Westpac OpenAir boasts four equally luxe culinary options for all attendees.
Options include The Point with Luke Nguyen, which brings fresh and vibrant Vietnamese flavours to anyone with a general admission ticket. Summer House Dining by acclaimed Sydney chef Danielle Alvarez takes things up a notch with fine Mediterranean feeds for premium ticket holders — and Chandon Garden guests will have exclusive access to a seafood menu and a dedicated oyster bar.
No matter the seating and menu, you'll be able to enjoy your feed with live music from top Sydney DJs and one of the best views in Sydney. Then, as dusk settles, the hydraulics whir into action and raise the famous OpenAir screen three stories high for the movie of the evening. But what's on the program?
As always, there are choices from every genre. Fancy a full-on big theatre blockbuster? You can grab tickets for F1, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, Wicked: For Good, One Battle After Another and Avatar: Fire and Ash. Some of this year's hit indie additions include Marty Supreme, How to Make a Killing, Hamnet, Song Sung Blue, Is This Thing On?, Bugonia and Wuthering Heights. There's also a promise of nostalgic favourites like Dirty Dancing, Mamma Mia, The Devil Wears Prada, How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days and Ten Things I Hate About You. For all that and more, check out the full program here.
Westpac OpenAir runs from Friday, January 9 to Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Tickets go on sale from Monday, December 8. For more information or to book tickets, visit the website.
