American Express Openair Cinemas Announce More Than 30 Events In Brisbane

October 3, 2018

American Express Openair Cinemas is bringing more than movies to Brisbane this Spring, as an exciting festival program of food, fun and flicks is revealed, with American Express Card Members receiving a range of exclusive benefits. 

FOOD Purveyors of fine food and authentic Italian cuisine, Salt Meats Cheese will be returning again to cook up a storm throughout the program. At the helm are Stefano De Blasi and Edoardo Perlo, who will be curating the daily menu of irresistible dishes available throughout the season. Their renowned antipasti and wood-fired pizzas are sure to delight cinema goers.

No event is complete without an option for those with a sweet tooth, Haagen Dazs will be providing scoops for the film loving troops. 

DRINKS Fear not, the refreshments are taken care of too thanks to national partners 4Pines craft beer, PIMMS and Giesen Wines. Black Devil Cider will also be tickling Brisbane movie- goers taste buds throughout the program.

FUN With more than 30 events happening at Brisbane’s Rainforest Green, the festival vibes will be in full swing every weekend with an array of alternative entertainment, live music and DJ performances before the latest and greatest feature films light up the big screen.

Punters have no need to feel lonesome or long for company on their night out, as ‘Doggy Dates’ provides visitors the chance to adopt a pooch during the movie every Wednesday (except on October 31st, aka Halloween, too scary for pooches!), with all proceeds going to RSPCA Queensland. Film fanatics and doggy owners are invited to bring their K9 furry friends to any screening in the program (being mindful of films with expected gunfire and explosions).

FLICKS This year’s program is an exciting mix of box office hits and highly anticipated new releases including Mission impossible: Fallout, Incredibles 2, Crazy Rich Asians, A Simple Favour, Christopher Robin, The Nun and Venom. Take a trip down memory lane with the cult classics Dirty Dancing, The Breakfast Club and Love Actually or discover something different with these program highlights:

  • Aussie comedy The Merger
  • High octane true story The Dawn Wall
  • Critics’ favourite BlacKkKlansman
  • Ultra-modern thriller Searching
  • Screen adaptation of the best seller and musical hit Ladies in Black

The Brisbane program boasts a selection of special events throughout the season including: 10th Anniversary screening of Twilight on 29th October, an open caption screening of The Merger on 14th October and an exclusive ‘Girl’s Night In’ screening of A Simple Favour to raise funds for Cancer Council Queensland.
