Plan the marathon properly.
Every marathon starts with someone saying "we could totally do all of them this weekend." Could you, though? Pick a saga, check off the movies, and get the honest math, total hours, finish time, and how many movie nights it really takes. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
Theatrical runtimes, credits included. Extended editions of the Middle-earth films add roughly 2 hours across The Lord of the Rings alone, plan accordingly.
Marathon wisdom, learned the hard way
The classic mistake is scheduling zero slack. Someone arrives late, the pizza takes an hour, the group vote on snacks turns into a debate, and suddenly the finale starts at 1 am. The 15 minute break option is the realistic minimum, and for anything over three movies, plan food like it is an event, because it is.
For multi-night runs, two movies a night is sustainable, three is a holiday-weekend move. The eight Harry Potter films make a clean four-night event, and the full Infinity Saga is a genuine multi-week commitment that is absolutely worth doing once.
