AMC, Regal, and other chains are pulling The Interview
I'm pretty surprised at how gutless everyone is. I have no idea how funny the movie will be, but I liked the trailer and I was hoping to see it. I wonder how much they could make if it goes straight to on demand.

Why? Do we not want to hurt Nkoreas feelings?

Stupid, gutless decision.

The whole thing is weird. Do they know about Team America?

Something for whatever reason left out of that article is that Sony basically asked them to.

Actually I guess it was in there, I just missed it on my scan read.
Although they interpreted sony telling them the chains they didn't care if they pulled the movie as sony holding their ground. |

A good friend of mine created the trailer for this film, which involves watching the entire movie and editing it for TV and Theatrical release.
Anyway, he said the movie was pretty damn funny. He said there area few bits that don't work but overall, it's enjoyable. |

I mean, I've seen some other clips and it might just be good. But the trailer... |

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

The truth is, I have no idea why trailers are cut as they are these days. Some seem to give away the entire plot, some seem vague and some just don't represent the film at all. It's definitely a mystery. |

IMO, they should make it available PPV on Christmas Day. It's not like it's an "Awards" type of film that needs to be released in theaters.

I understand Sony pulling the movie, Real or perceived threat it would have killed the box office on Christmas day. People would have been nervous. From my viewpoint, you can't just let this slide. We can't allow other countries to dictate to our artists what is acceptable, good satire or funny in our society. Talk about a slippery slope. PPV on cable etc would probably go over like gangbusters. People would buy just to say FU dear leader.

That's a shame. What would they charge for ppv initially? I think usually new movies that go vod are around $11-$12, but seems like they could go higher with this one.
