The relatives of people killed by James Holmes at a 2012 screening of The Dark Knight Rises have called for a boycott of Cinemark following news that attorneys for the cinema chain are demanding they pay $700,000 (£526,000) in legal fees.
The request was not immediately ruled upon, yet Colorado courts allow the winning side of a court case to recover legal fees.
Among those the cinema is requesting repayment from are the families of two men who saved others in the cinema.
“Don’t add to their $194m profit while they come after Aurora victims who have lost everything.”
