A star-studded red-carpet advanced screening of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri will launch the Moonlight season in each city. The film is part black comedy, part searing drama and follows a small-town mum who goes to extremes in the name of justice. Just WATCH THE TRAILER and you’ll see why Francis McDormand is being touted as Best Actress for the awards season.

There’s also a stack of new releases on offer. Head to Moonlight where you can kick back with a drink, catch up with friends and enjoy films such as Thor: Ragnarok, Bad Moms 2, Blade Runner and Murder on The Orient Express under the stars in picturesque park settings.
