Blame for the riot is a hotly debated topic. Many call attention to the promise of a free block-party performance tweeted by a ‘disappointed’ DJ Kaskade. Despite a peaceful performance by Lady Gaga in the same area the night after, the near-riot has caused unwanted attention for the film and spurred the theater chains to action, citing ‘the incident in Los Angeles.’ L.A. Now has the news, including this line from a statement sent out by Insomniac Events Inc., which promoted the ‘Electric Daisy Carnival’:

‘It is extremely disheartening that some theaters wrongly associated an unaffiliated ‘block party,’ and its disorderly crowd, with the private screening of the film.’
