Get Out and Dunkirk are returning to theaters after receiving a handful of Oscar nominations, including best picture.

Both movies are coming back to theaters this week in celebration of their collective 12 Academy Award nominations, Variety reported Wednesday, with Dunkirk already hitting some theaters Wednesday and Get Out returning to some theaters on Friday.

While most of the best picture nominees came out in theaters late in the year and can still be seen, Get Out first released in February and Dunkirk came out in July, and both left theaters before the 2017 awards season kicked off.

AMC Theaters, the biggest movie theater chain in the U.S., will be showcasing Get Out, Dunkirk, and the other films nominated for best picture in hundreds of theaters across the country starting Jan. 29, with marathon showings happening in late February and early March.

Get Out and Dunkirk were both nominated for best picture for the 2018 Academy Awards along with Call Me By Your Name, Darkest Hour, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, The Post, The Shape of Water, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Get Out received three additional Oscar nominations: original screenplay, leading actor (Daniel Kaluuya), and directing (Jordan Peele).

Dunkirk received seven additional nominations: production design, cinematography, sound editing, sound mixing, original score, film editing, and directing (Christopher Nolan).
