Summary
Brisbane’s beloved Dendy Powerhouse Outdoor Cinema is shutting down after just under three years — its final screening this Sunday, May 31, will be a free showing of Stop Making Sense. Nestled in New Farm Park, this unique non-drive-in venue offered a laid-back vibe with shipping-container screens, deckchairs, wireless headphones, and famously popular pizzas (even loved by local possums). Though the closure is bittersweet, it’s not tied to industry-wide struggles — Australia’s box office is booming. Both Dendy Cinemas and Brisbane Powerhouse celebrate its role in bringing community joy and creativity to the city, while exploring future possibilities for the precinct.
