This began as an attempt to find a great location to watch LucasFilm’s upcoming Star Wars Skywalker Saga May the 4th Movie Marathon and turned into a quest to find theaters that are showing fans some appreciation for sitting through 20 hours of movies and paying the high fees to do so. So I’m sharing the information I’ve uncovered in hopes that it might benefit some hardcore fans out there (like me), who want to make this the best experience possible for themselves and their families.

The list includes all of the 13 – yes, there are only 13 movie theaters in the United States that will be screening the marathon, as of March 24th – along with special giveaways, food and events taking place adjacent to the eye-popping binge fest.

Event Details

Beginning on Friday, May 3rd and continuing on Saturday, May 4th 2024 (also known as Star Wars Day), Star Wars fans have the opportunity to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace, by watching all 9 episodes of the Skywalker Saga in movie theaters. According to multiple reports that have already been released, guests attending the movie marathon will receive a special limited edition poster exclusive to the event (and I’m sure to eBay soon after for fans who can’t make it). All locations should also have an exclusive sneak peek of the Disney+ Series The Acolyte after The Phantom Menace screening. Some locations will begin their marathons on Friday, May 3rd and some will begin the morning of May 4th, 2024. The links I provide below will take you directly to the event pages for each theater, where you will find exact dates, times and additional information specific to that location.

All nine films will be screened in chronological order: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The Complete List of Theaters

Some of the theaters have additional giveaways and events surrounding the marathon. Any information I could find I posted below the addresses. Please check with the theater to confirm what they have available. I will update this information as I receive additional details.
