Maybe this is the smart move.. All the theatre chains were pulling out. IF they went ahead with 25th release where would it show??

The dumbest thing the hackers did was threaten a 9/11-like attack on movie theaters that were going to show the movie.  This got the feds involved in a bigger way.  So who's to say that in a few weeks, if the feds investigation goes well that Sony can't reschedule a release?

Because of all this I think more people will want to see the movie.   Sure they may do special VOD, but hell I'd release the sucker later

Cancelling is really stupid. What if ISIS threatens the showing of AVNG2? {nm} booboo Dec 17, 14:10

agreed, but they only did it because the chains were pulling out so rapidly. {nm} lobogotti Dec 17, 14:11

They didn't have much choice. {nm} ~JPV~ Dec 17, 14:12

I hope hackers liked TSSRV, I really want to see that one in the cinema. {nm} tatoufan Dec 17, 14:12

SLJAC will kick their ass and their ain't a GOT-DAMN thing they can do about it. {nm} Bubba_Fett Dec 17, 14:12

Dangit. Been getting killed on openers lately and lost another $2m on this now. Sheesh! {nm} MiyazakiFan Dec 17, 14:18

I just barely checked and I am really hurting from this one. Yowza MattW Dec 17, 14:39

How does the cancellation affect The Interview H$20 Put? That is what I really want to know... prahainsider Dec 17, 14:23

it's called straight free cash playa {nm} lobogotti Dec 17, 14:24

Don't forget about ow {nm} mike255 Dec 17, 14:50

We went thru this last week with Pyramid - was nobody paying attention {nm} JDolphin Dec 17, 15:12

So does everything just delist at zero and we have a re ipo? {nm} Dorfman Dec 17, 15:34

How appalling. {nm} second gary Dec 17, 14:36

Drafthouse was still gonna play it. And a VOD release cant happen this quick. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 17, 15:44

yeah but that's only 18 locations... The big players were pulling out.. If they kept premiere I wouldn't have been able to see it within Dorfman Dec 17, 15:47

19 and growing! {nm} Moviesnob Dec 17, 15:51

Thats awesome. I'd have to drive to VA to get to one {nm} Dorfman Dec 17, 15:53

I wonder if the VOD will even happen now. If iTunes carries it, Apple could be hacked next. If Best Buy carries the Blu-Ray, etc. {nm} JohnErleVan Dec 17, 16:02

Next? Wasn't apple already hacked lol {nm} Dorfman Dec 17, 16:06

Yes, but for different reasons, proving that they're as vulnerable as anyone. {nm} JohnErleVan Dec 17, 17:12
