Everybody and their stepbrother it seems have either seen or planning to go see Jordan Peele’s Get Out, a horror flick about a town full of crazy white suburbanites. Those fortunate few who’ve already gotten a sneak peek are giving it rave reviews. One of which is Chance the Rapper, who loved the movie so much that he bought out his local theater for free screenings yesterday (Feb. 26).
And he invited the city to join him via Twitter. “DID I NOT TELL YALL #GETOUT WAS INCREDIBLE!! BEST FILM ACROSS ANY GENRE IN AWHILE GO SEE IT TODAY,” he tweeted to his followers.

Six hours after his first tweet saying how dope the movie is, the Grammy Award-winning artist announced that he had bought all tickets to two showings that night at Chatham Theatre in Chicago.
