12879922, There WAS a pattern of violence at hood/gang movies

but that was in the 90's.
33 people injured, 1 killed across the nation when Boyz in the Hood premiered in 1991.
1 killed, big riot in LA when a theater sold out, dozens injured when New Jack City came out in 1991.

I take that as more of a sign of the 90's though. Trying to link it to current mass shootings (which are largely random) is bogus.
But I can't say the thought that "Man, I hope our folks don't act a fool this weekend" hasn't crossed my mind.
