Coincidence or premonition ?
The first trailer for Gangster Squad was released on May 9, 2012.[13] In the wake of the Aurora Century 16 theater shooting, the trailer was pulled from running before films and airing on television, and removed from Apple's trailer site and YouTube due to a scene in which characters shoot machine guns at moviegoers through the screen of Grauman's Chinese Theatre.[14][15]
