This attack injured thirteen people, four of whom were severely burned. The Saint Michel theater was heavily damaged, and reopened 3 years later after restoration.

That strikes me more of an isolated incident. And there's a difference between a protest and storming foreign embassies. I don't think anyone was looking to storm Hollywood after TLTOC came out. By the end of the week I expect every Muslim dominated country will have similar protests/riots/incidents going on.
