AMC Theatres, the largest movie theater chain in the world, is considering adding Shiba Inu (SHIB) as a way to pay for tickets.

On Friday, the CEO of the theatre chain, Adam Aron, put up a poll on Twitter asking the crypto community if they would be potentially interested in paying for movie tickets with Shiba Inu.

After acquiring some cinemas in 2016, AMC became the largest movie theater chain in the world. It has 2,866 screens in 358 theatres in Europe and 7,967 screens in 620 theatres in the United States.

Shiba Inu – A Potential Means Of Payment

AMC Theatres is already in the process of integrating the payment options for movie tickets using Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin, into its system. So this recent development is not really a surprise.

On Friday, Shiba Inu overtook Dogecoin to become the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. With a market cap of $40,476,844,035, the meme coin was up 5.13% in the last 24 hours.

In the early hours of Friday, Aron took to his Twitter page to ask users if the company should accept online payments in Shiba Inu in addition to the other digital currencies that it’s working on.

TWITTER POLL #2: As you know, you can now purchase AMC gift cards using cryptocurrency, and our IT group is writing code so that soon we can accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin among others. Should we strive to take Shiba Inu too?

— Adam Aron (@CEOAdam) October 29, 2021

The poll already has a significant number of interactions even though there are still four days left to vote. At the time of writing, 121,916 Twitter users have already voted. So far, 87% support the movie theater chain accepting SHIB, while 13% are opposed to the idea.

This is, however, not Aron’s first Twitter poll of this sort. The first poll, which was conducted in September, was about whether AMC Theatres should accept rival meme coin Dogecoin. That poll also attracted a lot of attention. And after the voting ended, Aron expressed his fascination with the number of interactions it garnered.
Among those who liked his tweet was Tesla CEO and dogecoin supporter Elon Musk.

AMC Theatres And Crypto

The multinational entertainment giant has been showing serious interest in blockchain technology recently.

Last week during an interview with CNBC, CEO Adam Aron discussed AMC’s crypto ambitions. He said, “We’ve made a lot of noise in the last few months about getting hyperactive in cryptocurrency.” He also discussed the possibility of issuing company-specific crypto.

In August, the firm stated its intention to include Bitcoin payments for movie tickets into its infrastructure by the end of this year.

The following month, the theater giant expanded on those crypto payment options by including Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). According to Aron, moviegoers are keen to pay for their movies with crypto at AMC theatres. These new payment methods will also be available by the end of the year.

Earlier this month, AMC added Dogecoin to the list of crypto payment options. However, this will be added in early 2022. The company also announced that users can now buy digital gift cards with Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies using their BitPay wallets.

Huge news Dogecoin fans! As we work to accept online crypto payments, now you can buy @AMCTheatres digital gift cards (up to $200 per day) with Dogecoin and other cryptocurrency using a BitPay Wallet.  Accepted on our web site, mobile app, and in theatres. https://t.co/hPubbeq4YG pic.twitter.com/dra7e23tc8

Last month, the CEO of AMC theatres also indicated its interest in minting commemorative movie tickets as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) during a CNBC interview.
