We went this evening and obviously had no problems. However, the theater/police were not taking any chances. We had at least two officers present and the first thing they were told was which theaters were showing the movie.
Random security at movie theaters no joke. There's a local movie theater in an upscale shopping center where there is always armed security. Most people aren't there to cause any problems, but occasionally there are issues with gang members since it's a public place. I remember when there was a drive-by shooting outside of a movie theater in Oakland, California. Oakland PD started placing an officer in a patrol car most of the day, although the theater might have been paying for it.
