Welcome to the 32nd season of summer movies in Bryant Park! Bring a blanket and a friend, grab your spot on the lawn, and watch a feature film on the big screen under the city skies. The lawn opens at 5pm and films begin at 8pm. Enjoy the show!
Stand by Me (1986)
Starring Wil Wheaton, Jerry O’Connell, River Phoenix, and Corey Feldman, directed by Rob Reiner
After learning that a stranger has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton), Vern Tessio (Jerry O'Connell), Chris Chambers (River Phoenix) and Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.
For the protection of all Movie Nights attendees, all bags, briefcases, backpacks, etc. will be inspected before entering the lawn area (the lawn and surrounding gravel area).
Should you leave the lawn area, all packages, bags, etc. will be inspected again upon re-entry. The checkpoints are necessary to safeguard all those in attendance at Bryant Park Movie Nights.
Enjoy the film!
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 to the left of the screen for summer-ready drinks, featuring special offerings from Stout NYC.
