Negligent security isn't some farfetched theory of liability. It made it past summary judgment and got to a jury.

I am going to call bullshite on this. If you are going to argue that every business bears a duty to keep you secure against any threat, regardless of how foreseeable, then we can just shut down every public venue. Because I don't want to pay $40 a movie ticket so they can have metal detectors and armed guards at the theater. What happened was terrible but it was the actions of the shooter and not Cinemark that hurt the victims.

As far as the fees go, they are sending a message. The message is, sue us and you better have a case or else we are coming after you. I would do the same thing.
