A new report from CBS confirms that a showing of Damien Chazelle’s La La Land in New York had to be evacuated this weekend.
The resulting frenzy led to a stampede of people jumping over seats and throwing concessions in a mad dash to escape.
A man — who had purchased a ticket for another movie at another time — stood up in the middle of the theater and approached the screen as the movie played.
It was eventually revealed that the man at the front of the theater did not have any weapons in his possession, but the initial concern spiraled out of control.
