NEW YORK (NEWS1130) – Several movie theatres said they will begin showing “The Interview” Thursday, seemingly putting the comedy back in theatres after Sony Pictures Entertainment cancelled its release.
The Alamo Drafthouse in Texas said on Tuesday that Sony has authorized it to screen the film starting Christmas Day. Atlanta’s Plaza Theater also said it will show the film.
Sony is confirming a “limited theatrical release.”
Such a release would enable “The Interview” to open in select theatres and avoid the national chains that dropped the North Korea satire last week. Sony’s cancellation of the movie following terrorist threats from hackers drew widespread criticism, including from President Barack Obama.
The FBI has said the attacks on Sony came from North Korea.
