Though it has only been in theaters three days, 50 Cent's new movie Get Rich or Die Tryin' has been pulled from a theater where a man was fatally shot.
Shelton Flowers, 30, had just watched the film Wednesday (November 9) when he got into a confrontation with three men in the bathroom. A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.
Authorities are looking for witnesses, and no suspects were immediately arrested.
While officials do not know whether the film was a factor in the slaying, the Loews Corp. decided to stop showing 50's big screen debut from that theater while authorities conduct their investigation, Loews vice president of marketing John McCauley told The Associated Press.
"We're unclear whether there is a direct connection," McCauley added.
He said the company is doing all it can to make sure patrons are safe at the 22-screen multiplex in a popular entertainment-and-shopping complex just east of Pittsburgh.
At press time, there is no word as to whether Loews will be pulling the film from its other 130 theaters across the United States
