Warner Bros. to Make 'Substantial' Donation to Colorado Shooting Victims

華納已經聯絡了州長辦公室 將會捐款給基金會 用在槍擊案的受害者們

包括12名死亡跟數十名傷者在此次悲劇中遭遇到不幸

並不會公開實際數字 但消息指出是一筆為數不小的數目


Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the studio has been in contact with
Colorado governor John Hickenlooper's office and will contribute to a fund
identified by the governor on the website givingfirst.org, which is a program
of Colorado's Community First Foundation. The fund distributes monies across
several charities that will support victims of the July 20 killing spree that
left at least 12 dead and dozens injured.

The studio will not release publically the amount of the lump sum donation
but sources say it is "substantial."

Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer also is set to send a companywide email on
Monday evening advising employees of the donation and explaining how they can
donate personally to the victims.

Warner Bros. has reacted swiftly in the wake of the July 20 killing spree at
a midnight screening of the latest Batman movie. The studio quickly released
a statement saying that Warners "and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to
learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the
families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time."

The studio then canceled a planned Paris premiere and other press events and
declined to release box office figures for Dark Knight Rises over the weekend
out of respect for the families of the victims. The Christopher
Nolan-directed film grossed a robust $160.9 million in three days, the best
opening ever for a 2D film.

Warners is the first of the Hollywood organizations to make a charitable
gift. Cinemark, which owns the Century Aurora 16 theater where the shooting
took place, has yet to announce any donation, nor has the MPAA or the
National Association of Theatre Owners.
