US-based cinema chain AMC Theaters has integrated Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB) and other cryptocurrencies into its mobile app.
According to the CEO of the company, the innovation has been made possible thanks to BitPay, a cryptocurrency processing service.
Users must update the mobile application to the latest version in order for the new feature to appear.
AMC Theaters is one of the largest film distribution networks in the US and Europe owning 950 cinemas and 10,500 screens worldwide. On top of that, it also operates its own online cinema.
In September, the head of the cinema chain launched a survey to add support for Dogecoin. Twitter users supported the idea. As a result, in October last year, the company integrated the payment of gift cards using the altcoin.
Also in September the company CEO launched a similar survey about Shiba Inu. More than 153,000 people participated and the initiative was supported by more than 81% of respondents.
