‘The Interview’ to open on Christmas Day in independent theaters
Sony Pictures Entertainment announced on Tuesday that the film “The Interview” would be released to a limited number of theaters beginning on Christmas Day.
“The Interview” – the satirical film that prompted a devastating cyber-attack on Sony by North Korea — will be shown at independent theaters and the Alamo Drafthouse chain. The film had been pulled by Sony following the hack, prompting criticism from President Barack Obama.
Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton said that Seth Rogen’s North Korea farce “will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day.” The film may also be shown on video on demand and online platforms.
