Indie Film Dope Is Using Bitcoin As Payment For Tickets

Bitcoin wins, but what does the film get out of this?

One of the summer’s smaller films Dope will accept Bitcoin as payment for tickets to the film.

In a partnership deal between Open Road Films and MovieTickets.com, moviegoers can purchase their tickets on that website using Bitcoin currency, a first according to The Wrap. The service will be available for those seeing the movie in 900 theaters across the country.

In the movie, the lead character Malcolm (on the left in the poster), a geeky teenager who’s obsessed with 90s hip hop and growing up in a rough part of Los Angeles, uses Bitcoins to sell drugs.
