Oddsmakers at Bookmaker.eu have cancelled further betting on the weekend opening box office receipts for “Dark Knight Rises” following a shooting rampage at an Aurora, Colorado movie theatre late Thursday night during a screening of the film. 

A gunman identified as James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, Colorado, killed 12 and injured 38 during the shooting rampage.  A 3-month old baby was among those sustaining an injury during the attack.

Many theatres have since yanked screenings of the film following the incident. 

Typically oddsmakers leave weekend box office receipt odds up throughout the day Friday for wagering.
