HOMESTEAD, Pa. - The new 50 Cent movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has been pulled from a theater where a man was fatally shot even though officials said Thursday they do not know whether the film was a factor in the slaying.
Loews Corp. decided to stop showing the rapper's bullet-ridden bio while the investigation is going on, said John McCauley, the company's vice president of marketing.
"We're unclear whether there is a direct connection," McCauley said.
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.
Shelton Flowers, 30, had just watched the rapper's movie Wednesday 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 were looking for witnesses, and no suspects were immediately arrested.

ROTFL...these "ganstas" have become a parody. What absolute losers and degenerates. They get what they deserve.
Right in my backyard. Great. Loews was a nice place....
50 cent movie? I'm waiting for Fat Albert to get my annual dose of urban reality movie watching done. Hey Hey Hey.
yo yo bullet - keepin' it real - take it to the candy shop - jibba jibba jab, cuss word slang.
Whenever I go to the theater which is rare, and I see $5.00 for popcorn, $4.50 for a coke, well them are fighting words to me.
Of course, I fight back by not buying any concessions. I won't see this movie or even rent it.
I guess I will see Pride & Predjuice next weekend!
