Well this is confusing, the CEO/Chairman of Sony is saying that the studio has “never given up on releasing The Interview,“ after a spokesman said they had “no further release plans” less than a week earlier due to the negative press surrounding the movie.
Sony’s Michael Lynton also said the following about the controversial Seth Rogen comedy:
We are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience.
Of course, The Interview not being available in major theaters like AMC, Regal, Cinemark and Cineplex because of North Korea’s terrorist efforts will hurt sales, but Lynton promises his company is securing “more platforms” so the film reaches the “largest possible audience.”
