A man who had attended a screening of “Straight Outta Compton” was stabbed outside an Orange, Calif., movie theater on Monday.

A spokesman for the Anaheim Police Department told TheWrap on Tuesday that the victim, a man in his mid-20s, was stabbed twice in the chest in the parking lot at about 9:35 p.m., then fled seven blocks west to a gas station where a witness called 911.
