Sony Announces Limited Release for 'The Interview'

"We have never given up on releasing The Interview and we're excited our movie will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day," said Michael Lynton, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "At the same time, we are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience." Apparently, the studio is telling theaters that it also will offer the movie simultaneously on Video on Demand. It is not clear which VOD platform the studio will use or whether the studio has locked down a deal.
