Kevin Hart Offers Free ‘The Wedding Ringer’ Screening
Kevin Hart is going to great lengths to ensure his new comedy The Wedding Ringer is a box office hit after buying out all tickets for two Wednesday night screenings of the film at a movie theater in Ohio.
The funnyman was in Toledo for a stand-up gig and decided to treat locals to a free movie by paying $5,000 to reserve 500 seats for fans at the Cinemark Levis Commons 12 multiplex in nearby Perrysburg.
He then alerted fans to the giveaway in a series of posts on Twitter, writing, “If your (sic) in Toledo OH I need u to get your a** down to the Cinemark At Levi’s Commons nooooowwww…..Im (sic) giving out free movie tickets…

The Wedding Ringer, which co-stars Josh Gad, received mixed ratings from critics, but opened well in the U.S. with a $21 million take over the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday weekend to place second in the box office chart, behind American Sniper.
