CoolioD1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The BBC have got a rolling ticker dedicated to the story. Perhaps it's a slow news day in the UK, but they're treating it as a very big deal.It kinda is a big deal though, right? I don't think there's ever been a shooting like this in the cinema. I haven't watched the BBC news yet, but I suppose I'll see what they have to say about it at the 1PM news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm not linking it to the movie, but the media will. At the very least they will explore the question of a connection and if the movie should be pulled. I think this goes above what WB wants to do at this point.There would be no pulling of any kind I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have to wonder if this could lead to a deflated OW followed by smaller-than-expected drops in the following weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevil18 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 There would be no pulling of any kind I believe.Yeah. At worst, I think this movie just lost 50 million worth of BO. Maybe more. But no pulling from theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bacon Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Right now CNN isn't even referencing "Aurora" anymore...the current headline is "batman movie shooting".It's time like this I really hate how the media covers news.If I saw that headline, the first thought that would pop into my head would be "Already?"

iluvjuanki Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think the question needs to be asked whether it's safe to keep this movie in the theaters now. I'm not talking about an overreaction, but a public safety thing due to possible copycats. Pulling the movie altogether is going to be a legitimate debate once the breaking news dies down.All attention is going to shift to the movie as soon ...Jesus Christ!

Magic Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) If there is a cinema shooting in Gangster Squad then the scene will probably need to be cut or the movie could be pulled. Edited July 20, 2012 by Magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even have to mention Batman in the headlines, they could just say "14 dead in Colorado cinema shooting" or something. Yet the news sites I have visited all say Batman in the headline.
