Presidents’ Day Weekend Movie Guide

If motion pictures were invented roughly a century earlier, we’re sure George Washington would have loved them. To us, there’s no better way to celebrate our founding fathers on Presidents’ Day than with film, a historical achievement.
OK, maybe we’re reaching — but whether you’re craving an adrenaline rush or planning a fun outing with your family, AMC has movies for everyone. See what’s playing this three-day weekend at a theatre near you and get your tickets today.
Action Packed
BLACK PANTHER For diehard fans, the hype surrounding Marvel Studios’ BLACK PANTHER has been building for years, and based on our on-set sneak preview, the film will certainly be worth the wait. Though the character was first featured on screen in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, the new BLACK PANTHER will center solely on T’Challa, who returns home to become king of Wakanda. As he learns to accept his fate and become the ruler he wants to be, a powerful old enemy reappears and threatens to destroy not only the isolated African nation, but also the entire world. BLACK PANTHER is already projected to break multiple box office records and could be Marvel’s most exciting film to date. (It’s definitely the sleekest.) Get Tickets

MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE The third and final installment of the MAZE RUNNER series has arrived, after a nearly year-long delay due to star Dylan O’Brien’s set-sustained injuries. In this epic finale, Thomas leads his group of escaped Gladers on their most dangerous mission yet — to break into the Last City and save their friends. The silver lining: They’ll finally get answers to the questions they’ve been asking since they first arrived in the maze … if they make it out alive. MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE debuted at the top of the box office charts and has already surpassed last year’s YA sci-fi film VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS in gross domestic revenue.

EARLY MAN In his first feature film since Academy Award®-winning WALLACE AND GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT (2005), Nick Park takes us back to the Stone Age in EARLY MAN. Set at the dawn of time — when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth — EARLY MAN tells the story of scrawny but spirited caveman Dug and his pet boar, Hognob. After the mighty and evil Lord Nooth and his Bronze Age City invade with a literal bang, Dug must unite his tribe to save their home — with help from his trusty sidekick, of course. If you loved CHICKEN RUN or any of the WALLACE AND GROMIT series, you will love this new film from Aardman Animations, which is known for its stop-motion clay animation techniques and idiosyncratic British humor.

PETER RABBIT A beloved classic for generations, Beatrix Potter’s PETER RABBIT finally hops onto the big screen in this new animated adventure-comedy. The mischievous rabbit is as ornery as ever; his feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates after McGregor returns to find his home — and his garden — a mess from Peter and his pals. But the two must be on their best behavior when warm-hearted neighbor Bea is around (Rose Byrne). James Corden — best known for The Late Late Show, specifically his Carpool Karaoke segment — voices the character of Peter, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail.
