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.
