Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson took to the Twitterverse to help those in need of Black Panther movie tickets. She became the next high-profile celebrity to partake in this kind gesture of helping underprivileged families see the film, following in the footsteps of Octavia Spencer, for instance.
Larson started with the tweet below, urging her followers and their loved ones to see the film:
One of the best things you can do for yourself and/or the ones you love is purchase some #BlackPanther tix. I know it’s expensive to go to the theater, but its worth it for this one. You will exit forever impacted.
Larson’s tweets continued for hours, with her most recent post (as of this writing) continuing to spread the love and encouraging everyone to enjoy the film:
If you want to buy tix for people who can’t afford to see #BlackPanther at the moment, comment below. If you are in need of tix, reach out to the angels who have commented below #payitforward Enjoy the movie everyone!
Larson won her Academy Award for Best Actress for the 2015 film Room in which she was kidnapped, held captive and forced to raised a child born of rape in the confines of a tiny room. She most recently was cast as the next Marvel superhero in the forthcoming Captain Marvel, and can be seen in last year’s The Glass Castle.
Black Panther has already garnered a ton of box-office love, with last night’s opening release earning about $25.2 million. The editor of Fandango posted the following tweet on Thursday night, further illustrating that Black Panther is on the trail to success.
