An AMC Theater in L.A. erupted into panic and confusion during an apparent emergency over the weekend — a frenzied scene which might’ve actually affected one Martin Scorsese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This all went down Saturday night at the AMC Century City location — where eyewitnesses tell TMZ that all screenings around 7 PM PT were interrupted and cut short after a fire alarm started blaring throughout the entire facility … the cause of which is still unclear.<\/p>\n We’re told that AMC staffers weren’t all that helpful in clarifying to people what was going on or what to do — and folks started to shuffle out on their own … heading into the lobby.<\/p>\n Our sources tell us, however, that some people were actually freaking out a bit — seeing how no information was apparently being communicated, a handful of folks thought there might’ve been an active shooter situation … so yeah, it sounds like it was a chaotic sitch.<\/p>\n We’re told people were awkwardly standing around … not really sure what to do. Eventually, though, a massive line formed once it became clear their movies were ruined — and guest relations started to give out refunds.<\/p>\n Our sources tell us everybody there did eventually get their money back — that, or a movie voucher for another visit — and that even for the Taylor Swift movie, which is being sold as a premiere event was honored by the AMC staff … but the whole process was messy.<\/p>\n The kicker to all this is that Scorsese was actually on hand Saturday night there at Century City — as he was intro’ing a screening of ‘Killers Of the Flower Moon’ around the same time.<\/p>\n We’re told he didn’t appear to be in the shuffle of bodies once people started exiting — he might’ve left before this alarm went off — but eyewitnesses say his flick got interrupted too.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/20\/4by3\/2023\/10\/22\/20c352ddbc6d41f0bdfc12e0d5a48e04_md.jpg\")
