Floating Movie Nights Where Viewers Sit in Socially-Distant Boats May Be Coming to the U.S. And Canada

Floating Movie Nights Where Viewers Sit in Socially-Distant Boats May Be Coming to the U.S. And Canada
A floating movie theater with boats was popular in Paris—now Beyond Cinema is bringing socially-distant film fun to fans in US and Canada.

Fancy coming aboard a boat for an aquatic movie adventure? It was a big success last month in Paris and now cinema fans in America and Canada can look forward to the floating theater.

This September, the Australian company Beyond Cinema says it will tour North America with their mini ‘movie' boats, setting up in major cities along the way. 

UPDATE: Hours after posting this, we noticed that the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper said the company was hard to track down, and had very little detail on their website, leading them to believe it might be a prank. We believe they are only collecting email addresses for pre-registering, and not payments yet, so proceed with caution—even though this DID happen in Paris last month…

At the events, there'll be free popcorn for the ticket-holders who will be viewing classic films as well as new releases. 

Beyond Cinema says it has created ramped-up safety measures for pandemic times, of course. According to the site, "Tickets will require you to purchase the whole boat to ensure that groups will be seated with friends and family only, and to allow for social-distancing on and between boats."

If you're in Los Angeles. Denver, San Diego, or San Francisco on September 2nd, you can pre-order tickets for showtimes there.

The following week, sanitized boats will pop up in St. Louis, Orlando, Chicago, Miami, and Houston.

The week after that, if you're in NYC, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver, it's your lucky day.

Then, lucky folks in Austin, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Columbus, and Cincinnati can head out on the water on September 23rd.

If this unique cinema event floats your boat, you can pre-register on the Beyond Cinema ticket website.
