Warner Bros. also removed the trailer for the Ryan Gosling film "Gangster Squad," which features a movie theater shooting scene, from screenings of "The Dark Knight Rises." The studio pulled some TV ads for the Batman film, according to Bloomberg News.

The studio does not plan to pull the movie from theaters, but canceled the Paris premiere of the film after learning about the shooting. Nolan and cast members Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Morgan Freeman also scrapped media interviews.

FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THE STRICTLY BUSINESS VIEWPOINT:

* Much of the weekend has been pre-sold; the movie made $30 million in presale tickets and shows in many cities are sold out through Sunday

* Some box-office analysts previously believed the final installment of director Christopher Nolan’s trilogy could top the record-breaking, $207.4 million debut of “The Avengers.”

* Only five movies in history at this point have done a $150 million or more opening weekend

* “The Dark Knight,” the second movie in Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy (with Heath Ledger’s award winning role as the Joker), made $158 million during its 2008 opening weekend.

This is a heinous crime and I would hope it would never happen again.

But isn't it time someone pointed out that for years Chicago has had the same number of gun deaths in an average weekend as occurred in this incident?
