It's been quite the year for "Get Out," Jordan Peele's explosive, difficult to categorize directorial debut that was a hit with fans and critics alike when it hit theaters back in February of 2017. Now, with the film's one-year anniversary approaching -- and it currently sitting pretty with four prestigious Oscar nominations -- the film is celebrating its success with a series of free screenings.
The event is set for President's Day -- which falls on Monday, February 19 this year -- and is taking place at a few dozen AMC theaters across the U.S. and Canada at 7 p.m. local time. The screenings will be open to the public on a first come, first served basis.

Peele shared the news on Twitter, adding a simple "Thank you" for fans. The resounding success of "Get Out" was a pleasant surprise for the first-time filmmaker, who has been effusive in his praise of the film's supporters, pointing to their advocacy as part of the reason the movie did so well in theaters -- and was able to ascend to filmmaking's highest stage.
"Right now I'm just thinking about everyone who bought a ticket and told someone else to," Peele tweeted on the day that Oscar nominations were announced. "You did this. Thank you."
