Manchester Households Get Gifts To Celebrate Oscar-Winning Flick

MANCHESTER, MA – Every household in Manchester – the town the world now knows to call "Manchester-by-the-Sea," or else – is getting a free Amazon Prime membership and bag of popcorn to celebrate the Amazon release of the movie "Manchester-by-the-Sea."

But what about the several other North Shore filming locations for the movie, like Beverly and Gloucester? It seems they only get bragging rights.

The company is sending a redeemable code to every home in Manchester for a year of Amazon Prime, plus a bag of popcorn, according to a press release. The movie is coming to Prime Video on Friday, May 5.

"Oscar winning 'Manchester-by-the-Sea' is coming to Prime Video on May 5, and we wanted customers in the town to enjoy popcorn and a movie on us," said Greg Hart, Vice President of Amazon Video, worldwide. "Manchester by the Sea is a masterpiece representing the best of cinematic storytelling. In other words, it is wicked awesome."

Because nothing screams "North Shore" like saying "wicked."
