Kim and Kanye West Buy Out Theater for Free Screening of ‘Just Mercy’

Kim and Kanye West bought all the tickets at a Mississippi movie theater to provide community members with a free showing of the movie “Just Mercy.” The couple are among celebrities and organizations that have sponsored screenings of the movie nationwide.

The Daily Mississippian reports that they provided a free screening this week for nearly 300 people at a theater in Oxford. The legal drama is based on the true story of a black man falsely accused of killing a white woman.
