BEST PICTURE SHOWCASE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Picture Showcase comprises nine Best Picture nominees plus the nominated animated and live-action shorts for the 96th Annual Academy Awards, and will be screened at over 50 Marcus Theatres and Movie Taverns from Feb. 23 through March 10. This gives movie lovers the chance to see the contenders before the Academy Award winners are announced on March 10.

BEST PICTURE PASSPORTS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moviegoers with several movies to watch (or rewatch) will want to consider one of the two Marcus Best Picture Passports, featuring discounted admission and food and beverage specials. The passport uses the latest technology to accommodate viewing preferences and hectic schedules, with the moviegoer choosing the specific theatre, date, and showtime versus buying tickets individually for each movie. All passport holders will receive 20% off food and beverage purchases during the Best Picture Showcase film series and have the choice of purchasing a Pick 4 Passport or Full Passport for\u00a0a major savings compared with buying tickets individually.\u00a0With the Pick 4, the passport holder gets an electronic ticket to his or her choice of four movies nominated for Best Picture for only $28 while the Full Passport entitles the holder to see nine movies, plus both blocks of nominated shorts, for only $70. To purchase one of the Best Picture passports, visit\u00a0marcustheatres.com\/BestPicturePassport<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
