As for good or bad, who can tell from a trailer, anyway?

Not worth the risk.

Sure, the threats are likely harmless. But who wants to be responsible for a terror attack just to show a movie? I hate the idea of allowing a threat of terrorism to have this impact, but from a business perspective of a theater owner, its an easy choice to make.

They'll probably " Veronica Mars" it and have it on PPV.

Instead we'll just get a bunch of, "well, it's just a movie" comments.

How did they apply censorship? Sony made a choice. All by themselves.

The theaters started making the choice originally, and then Sony backed them.

AFTER the hackers made a threat telling everyone to stay away from theaters and remember what happened on 9/11. This is not a choice Sony made all by themselves.

That doesn't make sense to me. They will still be distributing the film and the hacking and leaks will continue. I suspect the biggest thing here is an attempt by Sony to stop that. They know what data was stolen.

So? Sony and the theaters made the choice to suppress the movie. The hackers did not suppress it. They simply suggested it.

Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.
The world will be full of fear.
Remember the 11th of September 2001.
We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.
(If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.)
Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
All the world will denounce the SONY.
