The theft of 20 lenses from projection cameras at the Carmike Cinema in Grand Forks forced the theater to close today, just as customers were lined up to see the controversial new movie, "The Da Vinci Code."
Police were called about 4 p.m. to the movie theater. They found no evidence of forced entry and continue to investigate the theft.
Moviegoers were turned away at the ticket counter and a sign on the door announced that the theater was closed.
But the movie still is being shown, according to Carmike, at the nearby Columbia 4 Theater. One showing started at 7 p.m. and additional show times will be 8:45, 10 and 11:40 tonight.
Protestors with signs against the movie were gathered outside the Carmike Cinema as the scene unfolded. Catholic and other Christian groups say the movie is anti-Catholic and disrespectful to Christians.
