The country's top five theater circuits have decided not to play Sony's The Interview, a knowledgeable source tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Regal Entertainment, AMC Entertainment, Cinemark, Carmike Cinemas and Cineplex Entertainment have all decided against showing the film.
Carmike Cinemas confirmed its decision to drop the film on Tuesday. The other chains did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sony also had no immediate comment.

Guess what? It works!!
set up wanting and metal detectors. Charge an extra $2 for those going to that movie to pay for the security. Tell NK to shove it!
Hollywood people are UTTER COWARDS.
Wow, I was going to see that stupid film simply over the premise that I’d been threatened.

Well, I would not find it funny if it were about me. But this is not just that. It is about a foreign leader. For that matter, can you imagine if they made a movie about assassinating Obama? Would that even be legal, at least while he is still in office?
Of course the reaction is outrageous. But what did they expect?
On the bright side for Kim, this should qualify North Korea for normalized trade relations in Obama’s playbook.
Just put the dang thing on the net You-Tube or whatever for free.
A bazillion people will see it, laugh and Dear Leader will hate it even more when copies sneak in with subtitles into his workers paradise...
I’m not up on this. Hackers are threatening to screw up theater’s computer systems if they show this movie? What’s in the movie that scares the hackers so much, and aren’t there countermeasures they could take?
44 million is pretty small budget for a studio film. With these stars, even if it never shows in theaters, it will still make a profit in rentals and DVD sales.
They’ll make money sending it straight to video.
“Hackers are threatening to screw up theater’s computer systems if they show this movie?”
The threats were non-specific, but made reference to 9/11, so there is an implication of actual violence against theaters.
“What’s in the movie that scares the hackers so much, and aren’t there countermeasures they could take?”
The hackers are employed by the state of North Korea, and the movie makes fun of their dear leader.
Not unless the consumers read the Interview's reviews before heading out to the store.
The film is receiving incredible free publicity, more people will see it than Sony ever dreamed possible, it will achieve cult status and may actually serve to undermine the Kim regime.

He has a sense of humor, this movie isn’t funny. We should be the ones insulted.
Sony should consider making a movie about Mad Mo and his blood lust and pedophilia.
Should be an engaging story.
Way to establish a new political model.
1. Hack the studio.
2. Control what they release.
No one had to give in. I’d rather they are provoked now, before they get stronger. Which they will.
In North Korea, hackers are a handpicked, pampered elite
