Entering the 27th season, the series is a welcome return to outdoor events in New York City. Due to popular demand, Bryant Park Movie Nights, presented by Verizon, will run on Monday and, for the first time, Tuesday evenings, from August 23rd through September 28th on the Bryant Park lawn. With the series starting later in the summer, an earlier sunset will encourage a broader audience to attend.

In addition to Verizon, season partners include Paramount+ and Dunkin'. The Movie Nights film lineup was curated in collaboration with media partner Vulture.

This event is free to the public. As New York State and City safety guidelines for public gatherings quickly change in response to the ongoing success of NYC's COVID-19 vaccination program, Bryant Park continues to reassess its on-site protocols for upcoming shows with the intention of safely accommodating as many attendees as possible.
