The AMC Best Picture Showcase events features nominated films that played at AMC during their theatrical run
The Academy Award nominations are out, and AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, is happy to announce that the beloved 24-hour Best Picture Showcase movie marathon is returning to theatres for the first time since 2019 at select AMC locations. That means guests can watch some of the best-reviewed movies of the year back-to-back on the big screen over the span of 24 hours— all for just one great ticket price.
Aside from the 24-hour marathon in select markets, moviegoers can also enjoy a two-day Best Picture Showcase at 100 AMC locations across the U.S. Four or five of the films will play each Saturday, February 22 and March 1, ahead of the Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2.
