The studio behind "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" expressed their shock and extended their condolences to the victims of a mass shooting at one of the film's midnight screenings.
"Warner Bros. and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident," the studio said in a statement. "We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time."
In a phone interview with FOXNews.com Friday morning ‘Dark Knight Rises’ producer Michael Uslan also expressed his deep sadness for those lost in the tragedy and their loved ones. He said he would be suspending his media appearances out of respect for those killed and injured in the tragedy.
The suspect, identified by federal law enforcement officials as James Holmes, 24, is in police custody. KUSA reports that Holmes kicked down an emergency door at the theater, threw in some type of a smoke bomb and began shooting when moviegoers started to run.
Witnesses say they heard a series of explosions and up to 20 gunshots after the scene grew chaotic. About 100 witnesses were taken to a local high school to be questioned by police.
The midnight showing of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" was setting box office records as the tragedy occurred.
Deadline.com cited a Warner Bros. exec, interviewed before hearing news of the massacre, saying that the midnight box office was forecast to pass "The Avengers" as the highest grossing midnight showing of all time.
There were over 3,700 screens in the U.S. showing midnight screenings of "Dark Night Rises."
The online ticket site Fandango had over 2,500 weekend sold-out showtimes on Fandango, the most the 12-year-old company had ever seen, Deadline.com reports.
What the massacre at the Colorado movie house does to weekend turnout remains to be seen.
The Dark Knight Rises is set to play on 4,404 screens in the U.S.

Among the many challenges facing Warner Bros. in the aftermath of Friday's deadly shooting at a Colorado screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" is what to do about a key scene -- involving a bloodbath at a movie theater -- in its next big film, "Gangster Squad."
The noir film starring Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling centers on the Los Angeles Police Department's secret 1940s anti-mob gangster squad.
One of the film's signature scenes is set at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, when mobsters go backstage and open fire through the screen at the audience. Automatic gunfire rips through the screen as horrified filmgoers rush for the exits and the cops try to stop the mayhem. (You can glimpse the scene in the trailer above, starting at the 2:03 mark).

The movie is set for release Sept. 7, and trailers for the film including snippets of the scene have already been playing.
A source close to Warner Bros.who was not authorized to speak publicly said the studio has pulled its trailers for "Gangster Squad" from all theaters. The source said that the trailer had not played before the screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo., where the shooting happened.
Whether the studio will take any steps to remove or shorten the scene from the film itself remains to be seen.

Man fuck Columbine, been shootings in schools for years, first time it happens in a white school in a white ass state, everyone gets in a fucking frenzy, and what they do? not a fucking thing, nothing but try and find blame instead of accepting the responsibility that they fucked up.
This little motherfucker was off the hinges though you know any kid watching that shit pretty much can't enjoy batman ever again without thinking of that shit.

no offense but this is the most ignorant thing I've read in this topic (even more so than my bad movie comment)
Columbune was so huge because unlike any previous school shooting this one involved two gunmen who were throwing home made bombs everywhere while shooting the school up for a half hour. not to mention it was being covered live for much of that time, not covered after-the-fact.
almost all school shootings are one person shot, that's it. one guy has beef with one person and boom. meanwhile the Columbine shooting last longer than an episode of I Love Raymond for crying out loud.

This is so horrible. So sad that so many innocent people can be effected by one psychotic person deeming themselves responsible for other people's lives. WOAT

this guy lives in his own world, an overzealous black power world.
a drive by or running up and shooting a person up is much more different than going into a school during school hours and shooting random people up, detonating homemade bombs and killing people in the double digits.
theres a difference between murder and massacre, any massacre whether it happens to whites or colored is going to be huge.
and plus its usually a gangbanger killing another gangbanger, shit happenes all the time, of course a gang related shooting isnt going to get nation wide press, especailly if it happens in LA.

Manchurian candidate. MK Ultra false flag. Completely staged event to push gun control and distract from other issues.

so it´s automatically a government plot to get the gun laws passed, no chance of this being just another lunatic on a killing spree?

No. Most of the time lunatics like this are manchurian candidates. Read about MK Ultra, the CIA has been doing it since the 50's.
