It's nearly impossible to escape watching a presidential debate this election, with Facebook livestreaming debates for the first time. Voters can also catch livestreams of the debates on Twitter and YouTube. Now there's another way for people to watch the second presidential debate: in theaters. Not sold? It'll be shown for free.
Regal Cinemas announced it would be screening the Oct. 9 debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in 206 of its theaters across the country. Did we mention it's free? Regal is also offering viewers a complimentary small soda with every popcorn purchased for the special screening.
"While our auditoriums feature the likes of Batman V. Superman or Alien vs. Predator, we are excited to offer voters a chance to watch Clinton vs. Trump as they go head to head on the big screen," Chief Content and Programming Officer at Regal Entertainment Group Steve Bunnell said in a statement, reportedDeadline. "As we continue to look at ways to bring alternative content to our screens, we invite you to come cheer and jeer the candidates at Regal this Sunday."
There will be plenty to talk about in the second showdown between Trump and Clinton considering all that's happened since the first debate, such as Clinton and Trump getting into it on Twitter after Trump went on a late-night Twitter rant about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, and the release of documents revealing that the GOP candidate likely hasn't paid taxes in almost 20 years.
Places screening Sunday's 9 p.m. debate include several theaters in Clinton and Trump's own New York. You can find a full list of the the theaters screening the debate here.
