Following a warning of a potential threat of violence at an upcoming show of Warner Bros.’ “Joker,” movie theater chain Regal Cinemas has said in a statement that no movie is a “cause or signal for violence” but safety will continue to stay the company’s “foremost concern.”
“At Regal, we do not believe the content or the existence of any movie is a cause or a signal for violence,” a spokesperson for Regal told TheWrap. “Nevertheless, although we do not comment on security protocols implemented by our theatres at any time, patron and employee safety is our foremost concern. In collaboration with NATO, we are in regular contact year-round with law enforcement so we have information to help make whatever security assessments they deem appropriate at all times.”
