Gene Wilder, who died this week, played an eccentric candy manufacturer in the 1971 fantasy "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory."

LOS ANGELES — AMC theaters and Warner Bros. are bringing back a pair of Gene Wilder films — “Blazing Saddles” and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” — in honor of the late actor this weekend.

The two films will screen Saturday and Sunday at 55 AMC locations nationwide, with tickets for each costing $5.

“Willy Wonka,” released in 1971, stars Wilder as a candy mogul. “Blazing Saddles,” released in 1974, is a collaboration between Wilder and director Mel Brooks.

Wilder died on Monday at the age of 83.

“Willy Wonka” will screen at 5 p.m. and “Blazing Saddles” will follow at 7:30 p.m. on both days.
