JACKSON DONATES MOVIE TICKETS TO HIS CHURCH
SAMUEL L. JACKSON gives his movies a boost when they hit theatres by snapping up $2,000 (£1,250) worth of tickets and donating them to his church.
The actor’s latest film Captain America: The First Avenger topped the U.S. box office last month (Jul11), and Jackson admits he gave the movie a helping hand by paying for people in his community to see it.
He tells London’s Evening Standard, "If you can’t contribute to your own box office, what can you do? Not only do I see it, I actually buy like $2,000 of tickets and give them to the church.
"So at least I can say the movie made at least $2,000 in the opening weekend."
