He's got his city doing front flips. That's what happens when you buy out every showing in a movie theater for a day so your fans can see Get Out for free.

Chance the Rapper, you're a true American hero.

Get Out is dominating the box office this weekend, bringing in $30.5 million in the U.S. to beat out The Lego Batman Movie for the number one spot.

The Stepford Wives-inspired horror movie, directed by Jordan Peele (of Key & Peele fame), got plenty of love from critics -- as well as from Chance.

So if you're near the Chatham 14 theaters in Chicago on Sunday, you might want to get moving. Apparently plenty of people are taking Chance up on his offer.
