Sony statement favrerocks Dec 17, 14:01

Cancelling is really stupid. What if ISIS threatens the showing of AVNG2? {nm} booboo Dec 17, 14:10

agreed, but they only did it because the chains were pulling out so rapidly. {nm} lobogotti Dec 17, 14:11

They didn't have much choice. {nm} ~JPV~ Dec 17, 14:12

I hope hackers liked TSSRV, I really want to see that one in the cinema. {nm} tatoufan Dec 17, 14:12

SLJAC will kick their ass and their ain't a GOT-DAMN thing they can do about it. {nm} Bubba_Fett Dec 17, 14:12

Dangit. Been getting killed on openers lately and lost another $2m on this now. Sheesh! {nm} MiyazakiFan Dec 17, 14:18

I just barely checked and I am really hurting from this one. Yowza MattW Dec 17, 14:39

How does the cancellation affect The Interview H$20 Put? That is what I really want to know... prahainsider Dec 17, 14:23

it's called straight free cash playa {nm} lobogotti Dec 17, 14:24

Don't forget about ow {nm} mike255 Dec 17, 14:50

We went thru this last week with Pyramid - was nobody paying attention {nm} JDolphin Dec 17, 15:12

So does everything just delist at zero and we have a re ipo? {nm} Dorfman Dec 17, 15:34

How appalling. {nm} second gary Dec 17, 14:36

Maybe this is the smart move.. All the theatre chains were pulling out. IF they went ahead with 25th release where would it show?? Dorfman Dec 17, 15:40

Drafthouse was still gonna play it. And a VOD release cant happen this quick. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 17, 15:44

yeah but that's only 18 locations... The big players were pulling out.. If they kept premiere I wouldn't have been able to see it within Dorfman Dec 17, 15:47

19 and growing! {nm} Moviesnob Dec 17, 15:51

Thats awesome. I'd have to drive to VA to get to one {nm} Dorfman Dec 17, 15:53

I wonder if the VOD will even happen now. If iTunes carries it, Apple could be hacked next. If Best Buy carries the Blu-Ray, etc. {nm} JohnErleVan Dec 17, 16:02

Next? Wasn't apple already hacked lol {nm} Dorfman Dec 17, 16:06

Yes, but for different reasons, proving that they're as vulnerable as anyone. {nm} JohnErleVan Dec 17, 17:12
