“THE DARK KNIGHT” PREVAILS AT BOX OFFICE: WARNER BROS. OPTS TO NOT RELEASE WEEKEND TALLIES OUT OF RESPECT TO COLORADO VICTIMS


Still from The Dark Knight Rises
Firstly, I must commend Warner Bros. for not reporting Box Office tallies over the course of this weekend out of respect to those affected by Friday`s tragic Shootings in Colorado. I too have opted not to report Box Office results this weekend for the same reason.

It is no mystery that The Dark Knight Rises is a shoe-in to top the Box Office and it is terribly unfortunate that its hard-fought success has been marred, if not hindered by the horrific events which took place.

The Movies for me always have been a safe Haven and it is unthinkable that someone could be so callous as to take this sense of Security away from others.  My Heart goes out to the Families and Friends of those affected as I cannot even begin to understand the sense of grief and loss they are experiencing right now. 

As The Dark Knight himself would want, Truth and Justice shall prevail above all else.
