The potential damage from a long-term boycott backlash by legitimate moviegoers would far exceed skulking downloaders.
If you do a Google news search this morning the backlash against the caving is already widespread and there's certainly the potential there for a boycott. It doesn't even have to be organized.
Interview Blame Game (Exhibitors or Sony?), possible boycott backlash, and could it now be released early next year? Dec 18, 07:49
Link or is this more speculation? If the take insurance payout, it will no longer be theirs to decide. {nm} Dec 18, 08:00
+1 screw the hacker nitwits {nm} Dec 18, 08:14
It should be released straight to internet anytime now by those same North Korean hackers. Who screws who? {nm} Dec 18, 08:15
The potential damage from a long-term boycott backlash by legitimate moviegoers would far exceed skulking downloaders. Dec 18, 08:37
North Korea is not going away in a month. {nm} Dec 18, 08:43
Overall box office damage from people staying home out of fear would be much worse. {nm} Dec 18, 08:48
That's the calculation right now, yes, give in to the hacker nitwits. Those who disadain that can also boycott though. {nm} Dec 18, 09:00
Not enough boycotters to matter {nm} Dec 18, 09:06
Maybe not, but it's way too early to make that call. Caving to nitwit hackers / terrorists is unpopular {nm} Dec 18, 09:15
No it's not. This is not a matter of National pride. {nm} Dec 18, 09:21
A Google search thoroughly refutes you on it being popular, and it's principle not pride. {nm} Dec 18, 09:27
Only people i see visibly upset are actors who are screaming about their pocketbooks under the guise of patriotism. Dec 18, 09:49
No - a boycott would require sustained protest. Trending stuff is a flash in the pan. {nm} Dec 18, 10:19
uhhh No but way to get the stock moving. How can the reward outweigh just one event? Dec 18, 08:32
Motive agreed. {nm} Dec 18, 08:38
Did you read the lasted tagged article? Sony is not releasing the movie in any form. {nm} Dec 18, 08:46
+1 {nm} Dec 18, 08:47
Why would I halt and delist NTRVW? Has it been released in theaters, VOD or DVD, or been 3 years without any release? Dec 18, 09:00
Yes, EVER. You're just not paying attention. Sony going the insurance route, for that to happen, they can't make a penny. {nm} Dec 18, 09:17
I've answered your question twice now. You're just not paying attention. {nm} Dec 18, 09:46
Beyond that if your object wasn't to move the stock why include a 50 million opening figure in your original post? {nm} Dec 18, 09:52
Coupled with weaksauce arguments, his motive is now quite clear. {nm} Dec 18, 10:29
Retained per the rules. See the FAQ. Anti already said the 3 circumstances that would merit delist Dec 18, 12:22
I like this quote from EW...basically, we held an Olympics after 9/11 but we can't show a movie after a hacker attack? Dec 18, 09:02
+1 True. DHS said no credible threat {nm} Dec 18, 09:10
And the DHS , just like the poster here, isn't going to be paying the lawsuit off if the worse happened. {nm} Dec 18, 09:13
apparently, Sony is more afraid of lawsuits than the IOC {nm} Dec 18, 10:16
So everytime someone threatens something we should just shut it down or pull it from being shown? Thats Bulls**t {nm} Dec 18, 10:25
