I would put the impact of this shooting at -$30 million or so ... this country is full of overreacting sheep.
90% of our country believes these once in a lifetime events are trends ... look at airport security for example.
People will be less likely to see it for the following reasons:
they will be depressed about it happening
they will feel its disrespectful to go see it
they will feel like it could happen to them
people who were on the fence will move over to the "not see it"
less people opening weekend = less word of mouth
news coverage of the movie will be all about the shooting, not about the quality of the movie - less people will see it
