Ron Fournier @ron_fournier In defiance of terror, Obama should personally attend the premier of "The Interview" -- in Havana. Melt internet.

NK could see it that way, maybe. NK likes to bluster and Japan wants no controversy. Don't want to be embarrassed. Perfect PR storm.

This will move the thread to DC.... BUT, we have a coward for a president that did a global we are sorry tour and this is what happens. I would give my next years salary to see what Bush would have done in this situation. Atleast he had balls and regularly showed his american nuts to the world.

It's about the insurance on the picture. By not putting it out at all, they get to be cowards on the front end, and recoup losses on the back end. The whole "employees and stockholders" issue gets punted to the insurance company. That's the company that will get to take the bath because of Sony's cowardice.

There is no insurance for choosing not releasing a film and quite frankly, that's an absurd notion.

OR

Contact someone loyal here in the US who may or may not have to go purchase a firearm and carry out a coordinated attack.

Sounds like a lot to do on a couple days notice...unless you are saying that an active NK terror cell resides in the US currently
How hard do you think it is to buy a gun?

The apparent decision to forego streaming and DVD sales is also the work of lawyers, from what I have read. Apparently, to collect on insurance, Sony needs a total loss. I would think an insurance company would want them to mitigate their losses, but I don’t write the contracts.

But real people were actually going to pay real money to watch this production had it played?

There's no insurance against a studio not even releasing a film. Sure, maybe if the film's prints were irrevocably lost beyond retrieval then maybe Sony might be able to collect some insurance money. But it was their decision not to release the movie. How in the world could they collect insurance in this circumstance?

If that were the case, then every film that bombed at Cannes or AFM or in test screenings could fall under this category of being unreleased, therefore qualifying for an insurance payment.

Sony will write off this film, as they've apparently closed off any other distribution avenues.
