Ghana’s First Open-Air Cinema Starts Jan. 21

Accra’s first outdoor movie experience is debuting at Crystal Park in East Legon on January 21 2017. With claims of the biggest movie screen in Ghana, state of the art screens, digital projectors and bespoke sound equipment, 57 Open Air Cinema are offering a quality cinematic experience.

More is to come in the future according to organisers. Besides drive-ins, a combination of roof-top events, park screenings, 3D films and football matches are all in the pipeline. Movie lovers can look forward to classic Hollywood favourites, kids movies and recent releases.

The first two movies to be screened are the Tom Hanks’ film about the captain who bravely landed his plane in the Hudson without any injuries as well as X-Men: Apocalypse. The launch party starts at 4pm with music, dancing and food stalls. The first movie is at 7pm and the second is 9.30pm.

Although no outside food or drinks are allowed, there will be a variety of food and drinks for you to indulge in, including pizza, burger, sandwich, noodles and salads. There is a wide range of drink options too.

Only weather can come in the way for a great movie night under the sparkly sky. Should the rain poor down and wind hit harder than 24mph, organisers may cancel. Weather is checked at lunchtime on screening days. Should the forecast look grey and the show is cancelled, customers who have provided contact information will receive a message along with a rescheduling web link.

Doors for the first screening opens on Saturday January 21 at 4pm, with first screening starting at 6pm with Sully and X-Men: Apocalypse, with a 30-minute break in between.
