Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced to release The Interview in limited theatres on Christmas Day, a decision welcomed by the White House.
“While we hope this is only the first step of the film's release, we are proud to make it available to the public and to have stood up to those who attempted to suppress free speech,” said Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Sony had last week cancelled the scheduled release of the movies after threats from the cyber world, which the US says is from North Korea. Several movie theatres refused to screen the movie because of the threat. This was termed as a mistake by President Barack Obama.
