MOONLIGHT CINEMA CELEBRATES 30 SEASONS UNDER THE STARS – AND YOU’RE CHOOSING THE LINE-UP!

Moonlight Cinema, Australia’s favourite outdoor cinema, celebrates its 30th birthday season with The People’s Program; a nationwide vote to shape this season’s line-up. The cinema returns from November 21 for a summer of new releases, family favourites and Christmas classics under the starry night sky. Tickets for the November and December program of Moonlight Cinema presented by Youi are on sale at moonlightcinema.com.au.

Since opening with a screening of Pulp Fiction in 1995, Moonlight Cinema has become a cherished part of the Australian summer. From first dates to proposals, celebrity attendees like Margot Robbie and

Chris Hemsworth to pampered pooches (with their own treats and dog beds), Moonlight Cinema is an experience unlike any other. More than 5 million people have attended in the three decades since gates opened, with Love Actually, Dirty Dancing and 10 Things I Hate About You drawing the biggest crowds .

As part of Moonlight Cinema’s 30th birthday celebrations, audiences are invited to vote for their nostalgic film favourites, to determine which will return to the big screen. The top-voted titles in each city will be screened from January through to March, as part of The People’s Program, turning this summer’s season into a shared celebration of three decades of movie magic under the stars.

Everyone who votes will receive a 30% discount on General Admission tickets to The People’s Program sessions, plus entry into the draw to win a Double Season Pass and other prizes. Voting is open now at .com.au with a curated list of classics, sing-alongs, and cult favourites including Shrek,

Dirty Dancing, The Castle and Jurassic Park up for the running.“For three decades, Moonlight Cinema has been a quintessential summer ritual for millions of Australians,” says John Boero, General Manager of Entertainment Operations, EVT.

“To mark this milestone, we wanted to do something special for the audiences who’ve made us part of their summer traditions. The People’s Program gives fans the chance to help shape the season and enjoy their most- loved films - under the stars, where Moonlight magic happens.”

Kicking off the summer season in style, the November and December program for Moonlight Cinema presented by Youi is packed with festive cheer, fresh releases and family fun. From 9 to 23 December, the beloved outdoor cinema channels the festive spirit for two weeks of Christmas Favourites, featuring timeless crowd-pleasers like Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone and The Holiday. Beyond the festive season, audiences can enjoy summer blockbusters like Wicked: For Good, a special preview screening of Eternity, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere and an exciting mix of family flicks including Zootopia 2 and some of this year’s biggest hits with screenings of Moana 2 and How to Train Your Dragon.
