Now this is what I’m talking about! A 22-movie, 59-hour Marvel Movie Marathon for the low, low price of $125! That’s less than $6 per movie! You get to see the entire Infinity Saga, ending with the titanic, 3-hour Avengers: Endgame on its premiere night!
The details are a little sketchy. AMC’s official page for the event is here, but doesn’t have many details. It may be hosted in theaters in 11 cities, or maybe it is only 3 cities (New York, Chicago, and San Francisco). It starts on April 23rd and ends on April 26th, but it isn’t clear what time it starts on the 23rd. ButFandango lists it as starting on May 23rd. (c’mon guys! Let’s get organized here!)
Also, it isn’t too clear to me why it runs 59 hours. Watching all 22 films (including Endgame) would take 47 hours and 53 minutes (thank you Movie Marathon Time and your movie time adding abilities!). A half hour break between each film adds 11 hours to the marathon, so perhaps that is where the 59 hour length comes from.
So – if you aren’t the lucky social media influencer selected to get paid to watch all these movies, do the next best thing and pay for it! You are buying in bulk!
And don’t worry – if you can’t make it through all 59 hours – you have Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World to sleep through.
