Could you please help me correct these sentences?
My classmate Mike told me that he saw my boyfriend leave the university with a girl. Then he invited me to watch a movie with him and I accepted. On our way to the cinema theater, I ran across my boyfriend who were handing out the leaflets with my classmates to passersby. I did not know the fact until then. Mike’s words caused misunderstanding between my boyfriend and me.

My classmate, Mike, told me that he saw my boyfriend leave the University (my University?) with a girl. Then he (who is he? You must state if it is your boyfriend or Mike since you mentioned two guys in the previous sentence) invited me to watch a movie with him and I accepted. On our way to the (cinema OR movie theater - not both), I ran across my boyfriend who WAS handing out leaflets (with my classmates - this does not make sense to me. Do the leaflets have your classmates on them?) to passersby (this is an outdated word, I would just say "to people walking by"). I did not know the fact (What fact? It is unclear what you are talking about) until then. Mike’s words (or just "Mike") caused misunderstanding between my boyfriend and MYSELF.
I am a little bit confused about what you mean by the sentence "I ran across my boyfriend who were handing out the leaflets with my classmates to passersby." I don't understand why you include "with my classmates." Could you perhaps explain that?
I hope that this helps and is relatively clear. Let me know if you have any questions about what I changed. Overall it looks very good!

That looks pretty good to me, and I'm glad I could help. I would just change "Not until then did I know that..." to "Until then I did not know that" (basically just moving where "not" is so that it is more natural).
Also, I would change "the leaflets" to just "leaflets" because these leaflets are not "the" only leaflets in the world.
Again, I'm glad I could help :)
