triple feature

Three films consecutively

A triple feature is a movie screening of three films shown consecutively, typically for a single admission price.

The format was popular at drive-ins and discount theaters: We stayed up until 3 a.m. for the horror triple feature.

Now often describes marathon viewing sessions at home or themed theatrical events.
