Over the weekend, an unknown person issued threats against the Grand Cinema theater in Tacoma, Washington. Police thoroughly searched the building twice, but management decided not to open on Sunday, as a precaution. As Elizabeth Calhoun, the executive director, said, officers confirmed the threat is no longer present and the premises are fully safe, so the theater reopened on Monday.
To reduce risks, the administration has introduced temporary measures: this week, visitors are prohibited from bringing bags inside, and overall security has been increased. Calhoun emphasized that the incident was not connected to the current showtimes or the theater’s lineup. Tacoma Police have not shared details of the investigation so far, limiting themselves to a statement that there is no new information for the public.
