Outdoor Movie Nights at Universal CityWalk

Universal CityWalk runs right up to the gates of Universal Studios Hollywood, a free open air promenade stacked with restaurants, shops, and neon that stays busy long after the park quiets down. On movie nights the plaza sets up an outdoor screen, and the crowd settles in under string lights and palm trees for a familiar film. Come early to work through the food and the shops, then grab a spot as the sky goes dark. The promenade itself costs nothing to enter, and a movie night doubles as an easy evening out even without a theme park ticket that day. Universal Studios Hollywood holds a 4.6 rating across more than 175,000 reviews, and CityWalk shares that energy on a smaller, walkable scale. Screening titles, start times, and seating change from night to night. Check the official CityWalk listings for the current lineup and any updates before you plan the evening.
