LOS ANGELES -- Going to the movies is great, but can be such a hassle: You need to find a showtime, buy tickets, drive to the theater and park. If only there were some secret service with the resources to just drop you there.
Oh, wait. Uber just rolled up.
Kingsman: The Secret Service and 20th Century Fox are the first to partner with the ride-hailing service for a 50-city screening of the spy thriller that includes a ticket, a free ride to see the film a month ahead of release, and other perks like a shot at a special entrance to the New York premiere. Though Uber has dabbled in premium moviegoing experiences in New York and Los Angeles before, this is its first coordinated, multi-city event through its app.
The screening will take place on Thursday at 7 p.m. local time. Users who enter a code in the app between now and 10 a.m. the day of the screening will receive a confirmation email.
In addition, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, Uber users in participating cities who select the “KINGS” vehicle option within the app will be eligible to receive two free tickets, a free ride to the theater and a swag bag.
Cities include: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Honolulu, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Madison, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Providence, Raleigh, Richmond, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, Toronto, Tucson, Washington D.C., and West Palm Beach.
Among those, three winners will make a grand entrance at the event screening of Kingsman: The Secret Service in New York City on Feb. 9.
