Police deemed the threat “credible enough” and, working with the theater managers, closed the venue for the night.
A “credible” threat over the new psychological thriller “Joker" forced a California movie theater to close down temporarily, police said.
The details of the threat were not immediately clear, and police did not immediately respond to ABC News for comment. However, according to the statement, they determined the theater could safely reopen Friday. "If you're going to make a movie with such violence, at least be donating to those of us who are trying to stop the violence and survivors who have been affected by gun violence," Sandy Phillips, who lost her daughter Jessica Redfield Ghawi in the shooting and was one of the five people who signed the letter, previously told ABC News.
The FBI said it was aware of and monitoring threatening posts on social media calling for"unspecific mass shootings" linked to the release of the film.
