Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton appeared on CNN Friday afternoon to address the company's decision to pull "The Interview" from theaters.
Lynton told CNN's Fareed Zakaria that Sony did not cave to the hacker group Guardians of Peace (GOP) by pulling the movie.
A clip of the interview ran Friday afternoon on CNN. The full interview will air Friday night on Anderson Cooper 360.
He said the decision to pull "The Interview" only came after the major theater chains decided not to show the film. It wasn't because Sony didn't want to distribute the movie.
"Movie theaters came to us … one by one and announced they would not carry the movie,” Lynton said.
"We have not caved," he added.
Lynton also told Zakaria that Sony has "every desire" to show the movie to the public and most people are wrong in their criticism in the way Sony handled the situation.
"The President, the press, and the public are mistaken as to what actually happened," he said.

You must mean TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE.
The theater that was TOLD by SONY that they couldn’t show THE INTERVIEW , decided to show TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE.
That theater was then told it couldn’t show TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE either. Even though it’s been out for years.
It's all part of a game. North Korea probably doesn't even have anything to do with this at all.
The Big Lebowski is awesome. I don’t understand how anyone thinks otherwise.
So then why wouldn’t that also upset the Norks?
Better him than Whoopi.
Perfect. The dude will abide.
