In a strange twist, the Aurora shooting survivors suing now owe Cinemark $700K.

They had a chance to settle with Cinemark for $150K (split 41 ways would have given them each $3658). One person refused the deal and it moved forward to court where it was almost assured that they would lose and they would be liable for Cinemark's legal fees - about $700K. 

37 (of the 41) immediately dropped the case prior to go to court. The remaining however now owe the legal fees.
