We (Barely) Survived 24 Hours at the Movies: An Unhinged Timeline of AMC’s Oscars Best Picture Marathon

variety.com:

AMC Theatres’ annual Best Picture Showcase, a 24-hour movie marathon showcasing the nominees. We’ve always wondered: Who in their right mind would choose to watch nine movies back-to-back (to-back-to-back-to-back).

So, for the sake of journalism (and masochism), we decided to find out. We checked ourselves into the insane asylum of AMC Empire 25 in Times Square to spend our weekend in Auditorium 7 for the endurance test of a lifetime.

We will remain inside Times Square’s AMC Theatres for the entirety of the Best Picture Marathon, which begins Saturday at 12 p.m.

and ends Sunday around 1 p.m. Nine of the 10 best picture nominees will screen consecutively (“Emilia Pérez,” excluded because it streamed on Netflix, will not be sorely missed), with 10-minute breaks scheduled between each film (plus one 45-minute dinner period).
