Whether you missed the movies nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, or you need a refresh before the big night, AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC) has you covered for the 11^th straight year with the AMC Best Picture Showcase. In what’s become an annual Oscars tradition for movie-lovers around the country, the AMC Best Picture Showcase takes place over the course of two Saturdays – Feb. 18 and Feb. 25. Also returning on Feb. 25 at select locations is AMC’s Best Picture Showcase Marathon, featuring all nine nominated movies in one sitting.

The long-running AMC Best Picture Showcase has attracted a loyal fan base, which continues to grow year after year, with some guests avoiding potential nominees completely so they can see them all at once to evaluate what movie will take home the biggest prize of the night. Participating locations can be found at amctheatres.com/bps.

“There’s a true sense of community, as so many of these guests come back every year, often bringing friends and family members who are experiencing the event for the first time,” said Stephen Colanero, Chief Marketing Officer, AMC. “At many locations, guests who often only know each other through this event come back to catch up with each other, and with the best films of the year.”

The nominees and schedule are:

*Following the first movie of the day, start times for subsequent movies may vary by location

Pricing for the one-day, two-day and Marathon events vary by location. AMC Stubs Premiere members will receive an additional $5 AMC Stubs Bonus Bucks added to their membership card for each one-day pass purchased, up to four tickets. Premiere Members who purchase a two-day pass or purchase a ticket to the Marathon event will receive $10 AMC Stubs Bonus Bucks to their membership card, up to four tickets. AMC Stubs Bonus Bucks can be used for concessions throughout that day.

Beginning Friday, Jan. 27, tickets are on sale online at amctheatres.com/bps and at the box offices of participating AMC locations. The two-day pass is available only at the box office of participating theatres. Follow the Best Picture Oscar buzz on Twitter by using the hashtag #amcbps or on Facebook at facebook.com/amctheatres.
