"Boomerang"

Tons of people sitting on the lawn at night watching a feature film in Bryant Park NYC, as part of their summer movie nights.

Welcome to the 31st season of summer movies in Bryant Park! Bring a blanket and a friend, and grab your spot on the lawn to watch a feature film on the big screen under the stars. Enjoy the show!

Boomerang (1992), starring Eddie Murphy and directed by Reginald Hudlin

“The secret is, you got to coordinate”

A cocky ad executive, Marcus (Eddie Murphy) has a reputation as a ladies' man. Marcus, however, gets a taste of his own medicine when a merger finds him working under the beautiful Jacqueline (Robin Givens), who has a similarly cavalier attitude about romance. Marcus and Jacqueline become involved, but ironically he is put off by her noncommittal approach to their relationship. Meanwhile, Marcus also begins to develop feelings for their colleague, pretty Angela (Halle Berry), who is more thoughtful and authentic than Jacqueline.

Movie Nights are almost always rain or shine, but:

  • If it rains, the movie will go on and the lawn will be closed. Seating will be available in the gravel path surrounding the lawn, and throughout the park. Bring your umbrella!
  • If there are thunderstorms, the movie will be delayed or cancelled.
  • There are no rain dates for Movie Nights.
  • Because there are no rain dates, we do not make a lawn or cancellation call until the day of the movie, and often later in the day. Conditions can quickly change; if weather is deemed dangerous, the park may close.
  • Please follow our social media @bryantparknyc on Instagram and Twitter for Movie Nights lawn and weather updates!

Hester Street Fair brings the city’s best vendors to the Fountain Terrace each week, 4pm-8:30pm, to make your Movie Nights picnic the most delicious it can be .

Starting at 5pm, stop by our bar tent at the back of the lawn for summer-ready drinks, featuring special offerings from Stout NYC.
