Joker Movie Won’t Screen at Aurora Theater Where Shooting Occurred During The Dark Knight Rises

DC’s Joker movie is a little over a week away from landing in theaters, but some are already beginning to worry about the film’s potential real-life impact. Among the conversation is a joint letter from family members of victims of the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting, which occurred during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the since-renovated theater where the shooting occurred, which is now known as Century Aurora and XD, will not be screening Joker.

 

The letter does not call for a boycott of the film and its release, but asks Warner Bros. to use its power to help prevent further tragedies from happening.
