Speaking to SI Live, he said, “It was all Pete’s idea, he reached out to us to tell us he wanted to give back to the community. It’s a type of movie that needs to be seen on the big screen. We have our best screens and auditoriums ready to go.

“He grew up in this community and it means a lot to him to contact us – a local theater – not just a channel. We haven’t talked enough about what he does for the community, he’s a really cool guy.
