yeah, So my 2 cents on SONY’s decision to not release the film. I’m more convinced that this is about money more then ransom.

I’d bet the other industry movie houses were pissed at SONY because if say they did show the film and people took this threat seriously and stayed away from any theatre that showed the movie then some pretty good movies (and some bad ones) would be shit out of luck.

If no one goes to the movies, no one sees anything and therefore no one makes any money except maybe SONY if, I guess, maybe people would see it as some sort of protest screening or to see what all the hype was about.

This way SONY pulls it they still crate instant buzz for it but the industry doesn’t lose the big holiday box office that some use to recoup yearly losses.

Besides, it’s not like Sony won’t be able to use “Hollywood accounting” to write this off, no matter whether it sees the light of day or not.
