If you know someone who loves Paddington Bear, you could make their entire weekend.

The marmalade-loving British bear will be at Studio Movie Grill, 40 Powers Ferry Road in Marietta, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday to take pictures, the newly opened theater said.

This is all to promote the bear’s new movie “Paddington 2.”

And the first 20 folks to post a photo with Paddington using the hashtags #SMGMarietta and #Paddington2 will get a free SMG movie pass, the theater said.

The floppy-hat-wearing character first appeared in “A Bear Called Paddington” in 1958.

His creator, Michael Bond, recently died at age 91.
