Where to Watch Free Outdoor Movies in Boston This Summer
Photo via Prudential Center
Bless whoever invented the giant inflatable projector screen. How else would we be able to gather hundreds of people onto one grassy patch to laugh at cry at semi-old movies that “getcha every time”? Find prime real estate close to the movie screen, and your evening is golden. Show up late, get stuck next to (or worse: behind) the wrong neighbors, and you might as well go home to Netflix and chill.
Debate amongst your family and friends whether outdoor movie screenings are actually worth the effort. In the meantime, we’ll gather all the Boston-area lineups here. Coming up at multiple locations: Minions, Cinderella, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Good Dinosaur, Jurassic World, Up, and Ant-Man.
Don’t forget to BYO chairs and blankets. And please, don’t be these people.
All movies begin at sundown.
