If you’ve ever found yourself at the cinema wishing you were, instead, watching a movie from the comfort of your own bed, we’ve got the solution. This summer, Mov’in Bed Cinema is bringing its bed-based outdoor cinema experience back to Melbourne, transforming Flemington Racecourse into a giant open-air bedroom from December 18.
Rather than squeezing into a traditional cinema seat, movie-going Melburnians can settle into one of 150 queen and king-sized beds, complete with pillows and blankets. There’s also a pretty impressive 15-metre 4K screen and noise-cancelling headphones, so you won’t have to sacrifice picture quality for comfort.
The film program is looking like a crowd-pleaser, with a mix of highly anticipated new releases and nostalgic faves. Blockbusters including The Odyssey, Verity, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping and The Devil Wears Prada 2 will feature alongside beloved rom-coms like Love Actually and 10 Things I Hate About You. And with the festive season in full swing, we can expect lots of Christmas classics: with Home Alone, Elf, The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Holiday all getting a play on the big screen.
Of course, no proper movie night is complete without snacks. Doors open at 6pm from Wednesday to Sunday, giving guests plenty of time to order from a menu of pizzas, burgers and classic cinema treats, alongside drinks including CASA cocktails. Films kick off at 8pm, giving you lots of time to settle in before the sun goes down.
Beds can accommodate two people in a queen or three in a king, with tickets starting at $47.50 per person. For those keen to make a night of it, the Ubank VIP Package includes a premium-position king bed, a welcome glass of fizz and bottomless popcorn delivered straight to your bedside.
And in good news for pet owners, your doggos can get in on the action, with dedicated dog beds available for an additional $10.
Mov’in Bed Cinema is opening at Flemington Racecourse on Friday, December 18. Bookings are open now via the Mov’in Bed Cinema website.
