This all started because North Korea took the movie as an insult. Soooo, I'm just wondering: Do liberals in Hollywood still think Communism is "like totally awesome!"??

There goes the seventeen dollars that movie would have grossed.

LOL! Sometimes I wonder if they make these movies strictly for tax write offs.

I would have gone to see the movie just to give Kim Jong-un, and the rest of the scum who run North Korea, the finger.

Well they didn’t do it. The major theater chains pulled out. It’s hard to release a movie when the top 5 chains won’t show it.

Well they didnt do it. The major theater chains pulled out. Its hard to release a movie when the top 5 chains wont show it. To be fair, the chains only stated they were delaying showing the movie in their theaters. Christmas Day is a big movie day for theaters, and if anything DID happen, the John Edwards contingent would bankrupt them.
Sony could have continued the release, and likely would have had a fair opening weekend, and once nothing happened, a very very good second week (whereupon it would flop out of theaters, because, well, it is a brain dead movie...)

Sony will still release it, much like the chains they only said “not on Christmas”.
Sony couldn’t have continued the release, they had no screens. They maybe could have scraped up 100 indies, but most indies are art houses and don’t show these kind of movies.
When the chains decide it’s “safe” it will get released.

A screening at the White House would show resolve.

This is a publicist’s DREAM. Prediction: it’ll be released straight to home video with massive fanfare and make an almost unimaginably huge amount of money the first weekend. If it sucks, somewhat less unimaginably huge amount of money second weekend. But still unimaginably huge.
