Flicks, food and fun – the American Express Openair Cinemas Gold Coast has arrived

Fellow film buffs, get excited – the American Express Openair Cinema is back, baby! Starting Thursday March 14 and running through until Sunday April 14, the popular under-the-stars event will see Southport's Broadwater Parklands act as the backdrop for a thrilling month-long festival of food, fun and (of course) films.


The 2019 edition of the American Express Openair Cinemas Gold Coast will run from Wednesday to Sunday night across the four-week period. This is far from just a ‘night at the movies’, with most screenings featuring alternative entertainment, live music and DJ performances before you kick back to the latest and greatest feature films under the stars. The food and drink offering goes well beyond your stereotypical movie menu of choc tops and post-mix sodas (not that there is anything at all wrong with that delightful combination), with the dynamic team from Salt Meats Cheese curating an irresistible daily menu, filling the bellies of hungry cinema goers with antipasti and delicious woodfired pizzas.

What about the drinks, you say? There will be 4Pines craft beer, Pimm’s, Giesen wine, Black Devil Cider and French bubbles for your sipping pleasure. Much like the tasty food and drinks, the line-up of films will have you coming back more than once, with a mix of highly anticipated new releases and box office hits – think unmissable flicks like Aquaman, Glass, Bohemian Rhapsody, as well as A Star is Born, Green Book and The Favourite to name a few. Plus, you can even bring your furry friend! That’s right, dogs (the ones that don’t mind loud noises) are welcome too!

American Express Openair Cinemas Gold Coast runs from Thursday March 14 until Sunday April 14 at the Broadwater Parklands in Southport. Book your tickets now online.
