AMC Theatres: The Dark Knight Trilogy

The AMC Theatres chain is one of my favorites in the movie industry. My local megaplex has 24 screens, including an IMAX screen, and the place is always clean and the people friendly. It is well organized, it's comfortable, and, overall, it's a great place to spend a few hours watching a movie (or 3).  

Another major factor in my love for the chain is that they frequently host movie marathons. They've had a couple of excellent marathons already this year, including one for The Academy Awards, which featured nine movies over two days, and a Marvel Movie Marathon, which featured the five most recent Marvel films culminating in the midnight release of The Avengers. With another major movie franchise wrapping up this year, AMC Theatres will soon be hosting another cool marathon.

In July, The Dark Knight Rises caps off the Christopher Nolan-directed trilogy of Batman films. Obviously, these have been some of the most successful films of all time with Batman Begins at #115 all-time ($205 million dollars) and The Dark Knight Rises at #4 all-time ($533 million dollars). The AMC Theatre chain is showing both Batman films leading to the midnight release of The Dark Knight Rises.


You can get tickets to see all three films as part of a marathon for a cheap $25 from the AMC Theatres website. Not only will you get to see all the movies for that price, but you also will receive a commemorative poster and lanyard.

If you want something really cool, some theaters are even showing all three films in IMAX. Tickets for those films are $40. I'm a big fan of the IMAX format. The visual and audial quality are top notch, and that's the way to see any film if you can. Theaters doing the IMAX trilogy are few though, so be sure to check the list of participating theaters to see if it's happening in your area.

The fun begins at 6 PM on July 19, 2012.
