AMC to Host 9th Annual Best Picture Showcase Next Month

For the ninth straight year, AMC Theatres is bringing all of this year's Best Picture nominees to its locations for the AMC Best Picture ShowcaseSM. Since 2007, AMC has offered guests the opportunity to see every movie nominated for Best Picture by the Academy of Motion Picture of Arts and Sciences for one great price. The traditional AMC Best Picture Showcase will take place over the course of two Saturdays - Feb. 14 and Feb. 21.

Also back by popular demand this year, but with a twist, is the AMC Best Picture Showcase 24-hour Marathon, which shows every movie nominated for Best Picture in less than 24 hours, right before the Oscars. This year, in addition to the six locations already announced, AMC has partnered with crowdfunding platform Tilt to allow guests the option to bring a Best Picture Showcase Marathon to their favorite location.

To participate, guests can visit www.AMCtheatres.com/BPS to see participating locations, and nominate their theatre for the AMC Best Picture Showcase marathon. Guests can "reserve" a ticket at that theatre, and once 100 tickets are reserved, the event is on!
