I don't think there's an insurance company in the world that would insure against a studio completely scrapping a release, which is what Sony has reportedly decided.

It's the entertainment business: There is always a huge amount of risk, whether it's film, TV or music and no insurance company will exist if they offer terms and payment if a studio decides to shelve a film or album release.

Yeah, I can't imagine an insurance company would write a policy that insured against electing to not release a film. That makes no sense.

Agreed. If they did, studios would can every Adam Sandler movie ever made and collect the free money. Also, there would be nothing preventing Sony from collecting the insurance and then releasing the film a year from now.

Yes, this is crazy, this idea.

Hackers tell Sony execs they were “very wise” to cancel release of "The Interview," source tells @brianstelter. http://t.co/Ai0Pp7DlRq
