Since 1992, when HBO first started showing films in Bryant Park, free movie screenings have been an annual summertime tradition in the City. All kinds of films—Hollywood classics, current blockbusters, indie gems—are screened at outdoor venues throughout the five boroughs, with stunning backdrops like the Manhattan skyline (Brooklyn Bridge Park Movies with a View) and the Coney Island Cyclone (Coney Island Flicks on the Beach). This season’s offerings include recent hits Wonder Woman and Black Panther, ’80s classics Ghostbusters and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and family-friendly flicks including Moana and The Lego Batman Movie. Below is a schedule of free film screenings in New York City, organized by day of the week. Unless otherwise noted, all screenings start at dusk, typically around 8:30pm. Check the listings for details and then grab a blanket, bring some snacks and enjoy cinema alfresco, NYC style. Check back frequently for updates.
