well.. it is about its exhibition history. There have been similar comments made about shootings on other theatre pages, the only difference is that those happened 10 years ago and not this morning.
As for the theatre recovering — though it will forever have the stigma attached to it — the more important question is how will this effect theatres in general? People are already asking why bother go to a movie when they can get them at home. Now they can add that they don’t get shot at home as another reason to stop going.
Suspend comments — not a bad idea.
WHy would someone bring a 3 motnh old baby to a midnight movie? That is really stupid.
I agree; what has happened is dreadful, but comments about this horror are not really about this theater in terms of its architecture or exhibition history.
The crazy guy reportedly came in through the emergency exit door.
And where was security? Many theatres don’t have security, or if they do it’s only on weekends or during particularly volatile films. Asking where was security is almost like asking the question “Why wasn’t there an usher sitting in each theatre to make sure the temperature doesn’t get too hot?” It’s just not realistic, especially when you see the quality of some security firms out there. Now had it been an off-duty police officer I think that’d be different story.
the theater will again be open for business soon?
Very sad news here. I read this too and heard it on the radio from both National Public Radio and the BBC News. A 9-year old girl remains in critical condition at a local hospital while a 3-month old infant is on life support at the same hospital where the little girl is. This has gotten crazy. Where was the security when this broke out? Anyone who went to the screening should have noticed something suspicious about a crazy individual seconds before he did the unthinkable. They should have called the police THEN!!! And police officers should have been there to beef up and increase security at this theatre. It doesn’t make sense!!!
sad news.
14 killed at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises.
