Theaters won’t show it due to the liability since there has been a threat - their attorneys are telling them ‘no’ to having it in their theaters. Sony needs to put it online if they want to stand up to the Norks. I doubt they’ll do that since if the movie is not released, they can get some kind of insurance payout (per a report on FOX last night). If they do put it online, no theater revenue & no insurance.
Sony will probably make more money off the movie if it isn’t released than if it was.
Someone mentioned putting it online for free and suggesting a five dollar donation. Sony should do that and say all donations will be going to Feeding the people in North Korea.
I’m sure someone over at Sony thought of putting it out on Youtube. It would be the perfect end run. SO why haven’t they?
The answer is obvious. This isn’t about this movie anymore than that stupid video caused Benghazi. Sony is being blackmailed plain and simple.
