Firefly Cinemas is proud to announce the return of a much-loved entertainment experience to Canterbury: drive-in and outdoor cinema in Christchurch. Blending nostalgia with modern presentation, Firefly Cinemas is reintroducing movie nights that bring communities together under the open sky.
As demand grows for unique, family-friendly entertainment, outdoor cinema offers a refreshing alternative to traditional theatres. Firefly Cinemas’ drive-in and outdoor screenings are designed to deliver high-quality sound and visuals, while allowing audiences to relax in the comfort of their cars or enjoy open-air seating with friends and whānau. This format creates a safe, social, and memorable way to enjoy films of all genres.
Christchurch has a strong cultural connection to outdoor events, and Firefly Cinemas is committed to enhancing that tradition. From classic films and family favourites to new releases and themed movie nights, each event is carefully curated to suit diverse audiences. These screenings are ideal for community gatherings, corporate events, fundraisers, and seasonal celebrations.
The return of drive-in cinema in Christchurch also reflects a broader shift toward experiences that prioritize connection, comfort, and atmosphere. Outdoor cinema combines entertainment with fresh air, local hospitality, and a relaxed environment that appeals to all ages.
