Actually, that does sound less realistic and more fearful.

This is beautiful.

I am far more likely to choke to death during a screening than I am to be shot.

Some people just can't take the big guy winning.

You don’t really understand how commercial insurance or statistics work.

Cinemark offered a fat settlement. A holdout scuttled that, resulting in a long laborious lawsuit. When the settlement fell through most of the litigants dropped out of the suit. The 4 who decided to go through with the lawsuit are now getting owned. Sure, loss sucks, but this was bullshit. The holdout fucked over the…

Just a thought: If you can’t run, hide or fight back, you might want to reconsider attending movies in a theater after this.

Why the hell is everyone pissed off at the cinema chain?

Yeah, I can understand that the victims are emotional/irrational, I understand that the lawyers were just after the money, but why is everybody in the comments losing their sh*t? We have no emotional or financial involvement in this case, at least we should be able to keep rational. Do they really want to live in a…

Most of the comments on this post really shock me. Colorado is very gun-friendly state. Cinemark is a theater company, not a security company. It’s not their fault that the US has ridiculous gun laws and it’s not their fault that it’s easy for nutjobs and sociopaths to easily acquire assault rifles. To suggest that…

I was referencing the lawsuit, not anything else.

This is my favourite comment on this thread.

They weren’t sued was my point, and nothing you said has changed it.

I know I will be called a horrible person but I have don’t have that much of a problem with this. I really hope that Cinemark doesn’t come collecting but if they do I REALLLLLLLLY wish they had a way to extract money from the attorneys as well. The attorneys who took that original case should have some serious eyeing…

People here are in a tizzy over this, and I get it.

There have been about 171,434,736 movie screenings* in America since Aurora, and two shootings in movie theaters.

Isn’t it normal for people or groups that lose lawsuits to pay legal fees?

Both cases ended with absolutely zero legal liability for the theater, no visible policy changes, and a dizzying legal bill

I’m trying to understand why people are mad at Cinemark—it looks like not only did they offer to settle (which they 100% shouldn’t have had to do), but they also let the plaintiffs drop out—only 4 of the original 40 plaintiffs are responsible. Those 4 were unreasonable. They were wrong. And I am sympathetic—their…

The initial lawsuit was pretty damn frivolous, though.
