Check your local theaters this weekend. In memory of Gene Wilder, a majority of theaters are granting fans wishes to watch 1971’s family classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and 1974’s Blazing Saddles on the big screen.
Willy Wonka will play at 200 locations, while Blazing Saddles plays at 60 locations all across several chains. It’s been confirmed that AMC theatres will be playing both films at 55 of its venues on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $5 each.
Want to watch Mr. Wilder back to back?
You can! Many of the showings this weekend will have Willy Wonka at 5 p.m. followed by Blazing Saddles at 7:30 p.m.
