Eminem announced on Twitter Thursday (November 1) that he bought out an entire Detroit theatre for the screening of Bodied.

“DETROIT! Come through and get #BODIED!” he wrote. “I bought out the theater, so tickets on me for the Friday + Saturday @BodiedMovie 6:40pm screenings at the AMC 30 in Sterling Heights. First come first serve.”

The film was executive produced by Em and directed by Joseph Kahn, who is known for directing several of Eminem’s videos, including “Without Me” and “Love the Way You Lie.” Bodied is about a grad student who is passionate about music and immerses himself into rap battles.

“I always had it in the back of my mind that he was going to come on board at some point,” says Kahn during an interview with the Detroit News. “But you don’t want to go to Em and ask for money or an endorsement on something on big as battle rap, because everybody asks him for things. So I made the movie, showed it to him, and he loved it. Then he decided to come on board, and he helped us put the deal together.”

Bodied stars Calum Worthy, Dumbfoundead, Anthony Michael Hall, Jackie Long, Rory Uphold and Charlamagne Tha God with Paul Rosenberg in the role of producer. If you’re in Detroit, make sure you check it out.
