Sony Pictures released a statement today saying that they have decided kill the planned December 25th theatrical release of “The Interview” amid hacker’s terror threats against treaters and moviegoers.
Almost every major theater chain had already opted to drop the opening on their own before Sony moved in.
“In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release,” Sony said in a statement “We respect and understand our partners’ decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theater-goers.”
