Probably not the only theory as to why he picked that particular theory, but it is interesting.
I have to say, though, I don't think the theater should get sued by survivors for having their "No Guns Allowed" sign, though they should get some sort of administrative fine/hand-smack for having unalarmed emergency doors (something they are supposed to have for safety, and which would have pretty much stopped this episode in its tracks). People are just too sue-happy in this country.
So why did the killer pick the Cinemark theater? You might think that it was the one closest to the killer’s apartment. Or, that it was the one with the largest audience.
Yet, neither explanation is right. Instead, out of all the movie theaters within 20 minutes of his apartment showing the new Batman movie that night, it was the only one where guns were banned. In Colorado, individuals with permits can carry concealed handgun in most malls, stores, movie theaters, and restaurants. But private businesses can determine whether permit holders can carry guns on their private property.
Most movie theaters allow permit holders carrying guns. But the Cinemark movie theater was the only one with a sign posted at the theater’s entrance.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?
