Kid Cudi treated fans in California with a private screening of Jordan Peele's latest film.

Us is already another commercial and critical success for Jordan Peele. Theatres across North America were packed during the film's opening weekend including the Americana in Glendale, CA. Kid Cudi rented out the theatre and sent an open invite to his fans in the area to check out Jordan Peele's latest flick with him.

Even if you're not into horror flicks, watching Us with Kid Cudi is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Cudi sent out an invite an hour before showtime to fans who wanted to peep the film. The rapper told fans to pull up and bring a physical copy of one of his albums or some merch in order to obtain a single adult ticket.
