Were it not for the hack attack I probably would never have seen this movie.
I'll have to see it now I suppose.

So far, two theaters have said they are showing the film. Georgia and Texas.

Looks like Sony grew a pair...
And probably realized that this movie, which would otherwise be a flop, now stands to bring them some much needed cash.

Well their other 2 movie ‘Pineapple Express’ and ‘This is the End’ were off the war and enjoyable even with repeated viewings. I’m looking forward to a movie that pokes fun at the NORKS.

Maybe they don’t think North Korea did it.

A HUGH and likely not be very profitable venture.
Does Un Fat Boy get a piece of this orchestrated chaos?
Fat Boy has his heart and eyes set on Hollyweed.
Laurel and Hardy got nothing on Fat Boy and Rev. All.

This may turn out to be the most imaginative PR campaign ever to gin up interest in at best a mediocre movie.

They're also going to release it on Crackle, Sony's answer to Netflix, for free. Sony's gonna blow Netflix away after all the publicity surrounding this flick. This will be the biggest Christmas release in online history.
It's enough to make you wonder if this whole hacking story was just a cleverly executed publicity stunt.
Conspiracy fans, start your engines.

I think you will be proven correct... People that wouldn’t ordinarily give a hoot will now go to see this.
Publicity, even negative, is still publicity!

Looks like Sony grew a pair... good on em. Don't count on it. Don't forget, there are real people/investors with real money on the line. Those folks are expecting a return on their investment. I tend to believe that there are millions of dollars owed to different folks and this project needs to start generating some revenue soon.

While it might someday show on Crackle, it likely won’t be soon. And no, it will not blow away Netflix.
