AURORA, Colo. It's been less than six months since a gunman entered an Aurora theater and unleashed bullets on an innocent movie-goers - 12 were killed and dozens others injured. Now, the owner of that theater says they're ready to reopen in January.

Cinemark officials said in a letter to Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan that the theater would host specially invited guests January 17, including Governor John Hickenlooper and those affected by the attack.

Victims and their families will be able to visit the theater January 15 and 16. Cinemark says it will offer a free showing of movies January 18 and 20.

No word on how the theater room where the shooting took place will be used.

James Holmes is behind bars, accused in the tragic theater shooting that happened July 20.
