FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shares of several movie theater chain owners fell Friday after a gunman killed 12 and injured at least 50 others during the midnight premiere of Warner Bros.‘ “The Dark Knight Rises” in an Aurora, Colo., theater.
Cinemark Holdings Inc., the owner of the theater where the shooting happened, fell 97 cents, or 4 percent, at $23.30 in afternoon trading. The nation’s largest theater chain operator, Regal Entertainment Group, fell 52 cents, or 3.7 percent, at $13.45. Smaller chain Carmike Cinemas Inc. was up 3 cents at $14.85.
