weekends, customers will have the opportunity to see all nine Oscar
nominated Best Picture films. In addition, all 10 of the nominated Best

“Our Academy Awards program is unique in that we cover all of the Best
Picture nominees, as well as the Live Action and Animated Shorts

“This year we’re expanding the program to over 120 theatres.”
On Fridays, customers can see ten Academy Award nominated Short films in
the Live Action and Animated categories for $10. Then on Saturdays,
Cinemark will present five Best Picture nominees on February 16 and the
remaining four on February 23rd. The cost per Saturday for all films is
