At the Best photo category, expanded theatrical eligibility requirements, approved by the Board of Governors in June 2023, will take effect for the 97th Academy Awards®. Upon completion of an initial qualifying screening, currently defined as a week-long theatrical release in one of six qualifying U.S. cities, a film must meet the following additional theatrical standards for Best Picture eligibility:
- Expanded seven-day theatrical run, consecutive or non-consecutive, in 10 of the top 50 US markets, no later than 45 days after initial release in 2024.
- For year-end films with expansions after January 10, 2025, distributors must submit release plans to the Academy for verification.
- Year-end film release plans should include a planned expanded theatrical run, as described above, to be completed by January 24, 2025.
- Releases in territories outside the US may count for two of the 10 markets.
- Eligible non-U.S. markets include the top 15 international theatrical markets in addition to the film's home territory.
