MUMBAI: Warner Bros has decided to donate a ‘substantial‘ amount of money to help victims of the Colorado shooting.
The studio issued a statement soon after hearing about the Colorado incident. "Warner Bros. is 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."
Having collected $160.9 million on the film‘s debut weekend in North America alone, the studio is giving a helping hand to the Aurora community following the tragic shooting incident that killed 12 moviegoers and injured more than 50 others last Friday.
Warner Bros. got in touch with Colorado governor John Hickenlooper‘s office and announced they would deliver the charity through givingfirst.org. Also, WB CEO Barry Meyer would send an email to the employees, encouraging them to make personal donations for the cause.
Director Christopher Nolan, composer Hans Zimmer along with actors Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway have expressed their deep grief as well.
