Which gives credence to the rumor that the Sony dustoff was nothing but a publicity stunt to bolster revenue.

Follow The Money.

I've been thinking the same thing. The movie seems like it was pretty paced yesterday. The thought occurred to me that this mediocre movie might just recoupe it's money.

No. Even bad movies can make money, the critics don’t like most Rogen movies, yet they haul in the cash. But they have to get released wide to do it. Something moving a release from 3000 theaters to 100 kills the revenue, it’s just not logistically possible to make money that way.

Why would Sony give up all the emails and financials and information one would assume to be confidential for a movie? I doubt that Sony allowed emails degrading Jolie, Denzel and others just to prop a bad idea for a movie. I suspect someone who was upset changed Sony’s computer’s password to “password” and let the world’s hackers have at it.

Im starting to wonder. Sony execs write to each other saying the movie is bad and then with the North Korea angle it’s patriotic to see the movie. Sony will make more money off this than they would’ve without the hack.
