Pete Davidson’s new summer blockbusterThe Suicide Squadis available to stream on HBO Max, but he’s giving some fans incentive to see it in theaters.
“Staten Island comedian, @nbcsnl star and latest @thesuicidesquad villain #PeteDavidsonwants to take you to the movies!” the theater announced on Instagram. “Come seeThe Suicide Squadat Pete’s hometown movie theater #AtriumStadiumCinemas Saturday, August 7.”
Anyone who wants to see the movie just has to show up for the 7:20 or 8:00 p.m. showings and say they’re “friends of Pete.” Tickets cannot be reserved, and people can start lining up at 5:00 p.m. local time.
The theater’s owner Gregg Scarola praised Davidson for contributing to a small business in his hometown. “It was all Pete’s idea, he reached out to us saying he wanted to give back to the community,” he toldSI Live. “This is a type of movie that has to been seen on the big screen. We have our best screens and auditoriums ready to go.”
“He grew up in this community and it means a lot for him to reach out to us — a local theater — not just a chain,” Scarola added. “Not enough has been said about what he does for the community, he’s a really cool guy.”
The actor has also been making moves in his career, admitting back in May that he’s “ready to hang up the jersey” atSNLafter he joined the cast in 2014. “I’m surprised I made it to seven [seasons],” Davidson said onThe Hollywood Reporter’sComedy Actor Roundtable.
