Rapper Milo buys entire cinema, treats strangers
He bought all 129 seats to a showing of ‘Sorry to Bother You’
A Maine rapper surprised moviegoers with free tickets to a sci-fi satire movie.
Rory Ferreira, who goes by the stage name Milo, bought all 129 seats to the 4.20pm showing of the movie Sorry to Bother You at the Nickelodeon in Portland, Maine, on Saturday. The Portland Press Herald reports employees told patrons they could see a movie for free as they arrived at the theatre.
Ferreira says he was inspired by the movie’s director, Boots Riley, to do something good for society. Ferreira, of Biddeford, also attended the movie, and tweeted an invite for anyone interested to “catch a flick wit me.”
The movie follows the story of a black telemarketer who takes on white speaking mannerisms to try to succeed at his job.
