Gay also tweeted that she is a fan of the movie and not the first celebrity do buy out a theater or two. “We went to the @WrinkleInTime premiere tonight. What a lovely, gorgeously shot, inspiring movie. Absolutely go see it,” Gay.”

Octavia Spencer, Kendrick Lamar as well as Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman all bought out screenings of the Marvel movie so that certain parties would have the opportunity to see the film for themselves.

Gay’s Twitter feed shows that her first tweet about the movie screenings said, “If you’re in L. A., I bought out two screenings of Wrinkle in Time at the ArcLight Culver City. You can go to the 3pm show on Saturday or the 6:15 pm show on Sunday. There will be a table near the ticket taker stand where you can redeem your tickets. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.”

The movie has gotten mixed reviews from some professional critics and armchair critics alike.

Jurnee Smollet posted about A Wrinkle in Time on Twitter, “Very emotional after seeing #WrinkleInTime. All I can say is @stormreid is a powerhouse! brought me to tears!! RUN TO SEE THIS FILM!!! Thank you @ava and Disney for giving little girls everywhere a superhero.”

Conner Schwerdtfeger posted, “So #WrinkleInTime is visually ambitious and very faithful to the source material. However, it’s also kind of all over the place and doesn’t quite land the themes of the book.Chris Pine is a standout & Ava DuVernay deserves credit for what she does with a nearly unfilmable novel.”
