‘Straight Outta Compton’: Universal To Pay for Extra Security

Date:

Universal Pictures is offering to reimburse theaters for the cost of extra security for this weekend’s launch of “Straight Outta Compton”.

A spokesperson for Universal said the studio is partnering with movie theaters who have requested extra support for their locations.

“Universal is proud of our association with ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ which portrays the rise of five talented young men from underprivileged and oppressed backgrounds into one of the most influential music groups in modern history,” the spokesperson said.

“The film has been seen by thousands of people at hundreds of screenings, all of which have happened without incident. 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.”

Security was heavier than normal at the Monday night premiere of “Straight Outta Compton” at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. No incidents were reported.

‘Straight Outta Compton’ focuses on the groundbreaking rap group N.W.A but, the movie is being released three weeks after a man killed two women in Louisiana at a showing of “Trainwreck” which is forcing many moviegoers to ask, are the movies still safe?
