Someone is always going to try to sue, but I'm not sure of liability when it comes to terrorist threats...
Me neither. Really interested to know if someone else knows.
From just a logical standpoint, and the legal system is rarely that logical, it seems to me that it's obviously the terrorists that are responsible for harmful, murderous actions. You certainly can't hold a business responsible for the actions themselves.
But again, LOGICALLY, if you believe there's a legitimate threat and you still put people in harm's way on a high level...you figure millions of people in thousands of theaters nationwide...that's a pretty negligent action on the part of the businesses involved.
At the very best, they're going to have to deal with massive PR issues, far worse than anything BP dealt with after their negligence. AND they're going to get sued and have to pay the legal costs for that, and almost definitely have to settle...if they are liable.
If thousands of people got maimed or killed and were deemed to be owed even let's say $1mm apiece...do the math.
