Hackers threatening movie goers.
Call me crazy, but isn't this going to increase ticket sales?
This is the problem with activists, they put a spotlight on their target and expose it to a new audience. The Interview probably would have been a mild hit, but who doesn't want to see it now? People with zero interest or even knowledge of the movie now want to see it out of curiosity.

Yes, this will increase ticket sales some.
It's only a matter of time before one of these cases turns out to be the company distributing the movie to be the one behind the threats. I don't think that's happened yet, but it's only a matter of time. They'll call it Terror Marketing.

10 years from now we find out that Sony's marketing department was actually behind the "hack."

I would have so much respect for them. Not kidding. It'd be the ballsiest marketing campaign ever.

They wouldn't nor should they be and nobody is implying otherwise.
But still, ballsy.

Cinemas pulling out.
QUOTE Threats posted by the people who hacked Sony Pictures appear have had the desired effect. The Wall Street Journal and The Hollywood Reporter both state, based on anonymous sources, that the largest movie chains will not debut the movie next week. Carmike Cinemas said that it would not be showing the film, while the sources indicate they will be joined by AMC, Cinemark, Regal and Cineplex. In a statement to THR, Regal cited Sony Pictures' 'wavering support' for the film, as well as the threats, as the reason it decided to delay the film's opening.

If Sony had balls and wanted to strike back against the hackers, they'd release The Interview on VOD, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. on Christmas day for free as an apology to people over the hacking.
Write the whole thing off as a loss and make the movie as easily seen as possible.

Goddamn, I simply have to see this now. "The movie that was too dangerous to show in theatres..." You can't buy press like this.

Was it that bad? Someone at Sony hate Seth or James that much?

I would write shit into my contract that specifically allowed me to distribute the film however I wanted if it isn't released as per usual.

This is beyond being pussies. They're telling the whole world that you can bully corporations into doing what you want with empty threats.
This is going to get ugly.

Another North Korean film cancelled.
They win! These studios can expect a LOT more of the same from hacker groups who don't like casting choices.
This is ridiculous.
