Kristen Bell buys out Twin Cities movie theater for "Love, Simon" showing
Hollywood actress Kristen Bell has joined the ranks of celebrities buying out movie theaters for showing of the new movie "Love, Simon" – and the one she's selected is in the Twin Cities.
The star of "The Good Place" and "Veronica Mars" has bought every seat in the theater for the 4 p.m. Sunday showing of "Love, Simon" at the AMC Southdale in Edina.
It means anyone who gets tickets for that showing will be treated to a free movie.
She joins other stars including Neil Patrick Harris in buying out theaters for the movie, a coming-of-age and coming-out comedy-drama released last week.
"Love, Simon is a KNOCKOUT," Bell wrote on Instagram. "There are so many important stories that don’t get made. I am so grateful this one did. ❤️"
"I had absolutely nothing to do with the making of this movie—I just have a huge crush on it and I’d like to share the love. Minneapolis, please enjoy a screening of Love, Simon this Sunday on me. :) Enjoy!"
