AMC Theatres is now officially accepting Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin for online payments for tickets. The move comes a week earlier than anticipated.

Earlier in March, CryptoPotato reported that AMC Theatres – one of the largest movie chains in the world – will start accepting the two most popular memecoins for tickets on March 19th.
Now, the company’s CEO – Adam Aron – took it to Twitter to reveal that the integration is live, coming a week earlier than expected:

Your replies just might break the internet, given your clear enthusiasm and interest in cryptocurrency. As promised, the AMC Theatres website now accepts Dogecoin and Shiba Inu for online payments! A special shoutout to Bit Pay for helping us to make this happen.

It appears, though, that the news failed to move either coin. DOGE is trading flat for the day, and so is SHIB.
