Theaters nationwide that pack extra security heat for screenings of “Straight Outta Compton” will be reimbursed by Universal Pictures, the studio announced ahead of the film’s release.
“The studio has not solicited enhanced security for theaters who will begin showing it this weekend, but has partnered with those exhibitors who have requested support for their locations,” a Universal spokesperson told Variety
"It shouldn't be needed. It's just a movie. Universal takes this to the extreme," said Christian Figueroa, 16, at the Regal Battery Park theater. "If they're doing it for this movie, why aren't they doing it for all of them?"
But hey its nice to see the studio helping to facilitate a safe movie going experience.
