Chance the Rapper attends The 59th Grammy Awards at Staples Center on Feb. 12, 2017 in Los Angeles. 

Those in the Chicago area who have yet to see Jordan Peele's Get Out could catch it for free, courtesy of Chance the Rapper. His praise of the race-conscious horror film, which topped the box office on its opening weekend, is so high that he apparently bought out all the tickets for Sunday's (Feb. 26) showings at a local theater to give people a chance to see it at no charge.

"DID I NOT TELL YALL #GETOUT WAS INCREDIBLE!! BEST FILM ACROSS ANY GENRE IN AWHILE GO SEE IT TODAY!" the rapper tweeted. "I bought all the tickets to #GetOut at Chatham Theatre on 87th Just pull up with ID and enjoy the movie."

As pointed out by Pitchfork, the movie theater's website shows the 5:30, 8:00 and 10:30 p.m. showings of Get Out are sold out.
