Sony Pictures still hopes to release “The Interview” by the end of 2014, but the comedy will likely forgo a theatrical release, according to a source close to studio.

Instead, the film will be made available through a patchwork of electronic sell through, video on demand and other home entertainment platforms, the source said. There may be some road blocks. No major distributor has signed on yet and some have expressed concerns that they will be targeted by the hackers who have terrorized Sony for weeks if they carry the picture.
