The Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, reopened on Thursday and screened The Hobbit for victims and the families of victims of the grizzly shooting that happened there in July.
Cinemark announced that it would be reopening The Century theater earlier this month, inviting Aurora shooting survivors and the friends and family of victims to participate in a free screening.

The screening invitation angered many, however. A formal protest letter was sent to Cinemark, calling the screening disgusting and appalling.
