American Express Openair Cinemas is bringing more than movies to Auckland this summer, as an exciting festival program of food, fun and flicks is revealed, with American Express card members receiving a range of exclusive benefits.

With nearly 28 events happening at Auckland’s Western Springs Park, near Auckland Zoo, 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 on their night out, as film fanatics and doggy owners are invited to bring their K9 furry friends to any screening (being mindful of films with expected gunfire and explosions).

This year’s program is an exciting mix of box office hits and highly anticipated new releases including A Star is Born, Mortal Engines, Aquaman and Bumblebee. A special selection of family friendly titles is included in the program including: The Grinch, Mary Poppins Returns, Disney’s The Nutcracker and Instant Family or discover something different with these program highlights:

American Express card members are invited to relax and enjoy the full VIP cinema experience by purchasing a ticket to the American Express Lounge.

Premium tickets to the Prime Video Lounge include reserved seating on a comfy bean bag, service straight to you and a glass of wine.
