CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP)- Relatives of the majority of people killed in the Aurora movie theater are rejecting an invitation to attend its reopening, calling it a ``disgusting offer.''

The parents, grandparents, cousins and widow of nine of the 12 people killed, released a letter Wednesday sent to the theater's owner, Cinemark.

The company plans to re-open it Jan. 17.

The families said they were invited to an ``evening of remembrance'' followed by a movie. They also said the company's timing was ``awful'' in sending the invitations two days after Christmas.
