Westpac OpenAir 2025

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 three equally luxe culinary options for all attendees, specially elevated for the 2025 season.

There's 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 Fabbrica-made pasta bar menu by Scott McComas-Williams.

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 The Fall Guy, Gladiator II or Wicked. Some hit indie additions include We Live in Time, Nightbitch, Kneecap, Parthenope, Lee and Babygirl. There's also a promise of nostalgic favourites and film premieres, with a screening of Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut attended by Paul Hogan himself on Thursday, January 23 and a red carpet premiere of the Australian-made comedy Spit (a followup to the David Wenham-starring Gettin' Square) on the closing night. For all that and more, check out the full program here.

Westpac OpenAir runs from Thursday, January 9 to Tuesday, February 18. For more information or to book tickets, visit the website.
