Another 58 people were injured when suspect James Holmes, who is due to appear in court on Monday, allegedly opened fire during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises early on Friday morning.
Holmes has reportedly been moved into solitary confinement for his own protection.
Police said the rampage was planned with “calculation and deliberation”.
For months James Holmes received deliveries that authorities believe armed him for battle and were used to rig his flat with dozens of bombs.
Experts have now made Holmes' booby-trapped suburban Denver home safe.
It was rigged with bombs and dangerous chemicals and some of these materials were taken to a remote location and detonated in controlled explosions.
On Sunday President Barack Obama flew to Denver to meet with the victims’ families.
In an address to the nation, he described the massacre as a “heinous crime”.
