"It was essential for our studio to release this movie, especially given the assault upon our business and our employees by those who wanted to stop free speech," said studio chairman and chief executive Michael Lynton. "We chose the path of digital distribution first so as to reach as many people as possible on opening day, and we continue to seek other partners and platforms to further expand the release."

And just out on Google's blog:
Last Wednesday Sony began contacting a number of companies, including Google, to ask if we’d be able to make their movie, "The Interview," available online. We'd had a similar thought and were eager to help—though given everything that’s happened, the security implications were very much at the front of our minds.
Of course it was tempting to hope that something else would happen to ensure this movie saw the light of day. But after discussing all the issues, Sony and Google agreed that we could not sit on the sidelines and allow a handful of people to determine the limits of free speech in another country (however silly the content might be).
So starting at 10 a.m. PST in the U.S., you can rent or buy "The Interview" on Google Play and YouTube Movies. It will also be available to Xbox Video customers and via www.seetheinterview.com.
Marketing complete!

Who gives a fuck?
^This should be this articles Headline / Tagline.
Zip gets it!
Seems like the movie producers want to grab as much cash as possible, before people smell the turd!
"to reach as many people as possible on opening day,"
With everything going on around us and the blantant stupidity on every level I can only shake my head.
Ahhh hilarity at it's finest.
"There's no such thing as 'bad publicity'"
It'll make money.
Critics Agree The Interview
Will. Make. Money
"Tepid!" - Sony Executive 1
"I was on the edge of my seat. The Patron bottle was a little too far away!" - Sony Executive 2
"You'll enjoy every minute of James Franco's performace, because Seth Rogen is intolerable!" - Sony Executive 3
"Movie theaters should change their refund policies!" - Sony Executive 4
Okay, I admit the middle two are fake.
but Sony managed to get it a 9.9 rating on IMDB
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2788710/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
edit: amongst the number of obvious Sony plants in the reviews are a couple that are awesomely sarcastic: "To put it in perspective I love this movie like I love my wife, except I'd save this movie from a fire. Before I saw this movie I had cancer, saw the movie, no cancer."
edit 2: holy f*#k! almost all the reviews are like that. It's another arm of Sony marketing. Apparently the hackers "GOP" have flooded all ratings sites. I humbly apologize for having contributed to the hype. f*#kers!
Oh. yeah!
The threat of thermonuclear war is ALWAYS a good way to promote a fucking stupid-ass movie! What the FUCK! Japan's nuked already, so why not have SONY hack itself! Get EVERYONE in on the fun! WWIII isn't really all that bad...
(Of course, since SONY is a multinational CORPORATION that has the priveledges and rights of 'personhood' without any of the responsibilities or consequences. They might be FINED or something, but they will ENDURE. NO INDIVIDUAL PERSON OR PERSONS will be held responsible for almost starting a nuclear conflaguration that could potentially wipe mankind from the face of the Earth. Some restrictions apply. See NWO Charter for details. Not legal in other solar systems.)
In THREE, TWO, ONE...
NAME the ethnic/religious/'ethnocentric' affiliation of the two motherfucking and babyfucking and mankindfucking bastards that PRODUCED and STARRED IN this movie (released in time for Christmas by a supposedly Japanese-based company).
'What's an Ashkenazim and a Khazarim, Daddy?' (SHHH. Go to sleep. I'll teach you tomorrow.) 'Is there gonna be a war, Daddy?' (NO. Sony has made peace with itself now.) 'I think the Queen looks like a man, Daddy.' (You're being silly.) 'WHO really did 9/11, Daddy? I saw a movie on the internet...' (SHHH. It's time for bed, sweetheart.)
That is actually a business model.
People often dont realize, that before the advent of texting/cell phones, movie studios would often throw together a shitty movie, with a shitty story, with a famous actor(ess) or two knowing the fan base would turn out to see it. It made money because they could project the take in the first few weeks (before word really got around it was a bomb and sales tanked) and it was enough to cover costs. Production volume was higher because quality didn't matter as much.
This strategy had to change after folks could go to a showing, get bored/disgusted, and text their friends/family of the turd, tanking revenues sooner and reducing the net take for the film.
On a tangent, we got reality TV after that, which has MUCH lower production costs.
Hollywood has long been about manipulative marketing and less about great movies for many years. They may absolutely know this movie is a turd, but if this works, you will see more of its kind as a marketing strategy.

Disclosure: Haven't owned a TV in almost two decades.
Hollywood = unwatchable
Newspapers (and TV news) = unreadable, incomprehensible, unwatchable
Wall St = untrustable
Anything in common, anything I am missing???
Cops = otherwise unemployable
Agreed. Best to kill your TV.
ATTENTION, COPS:
If you have been told that you are 'unemployable', why not consider a career in the Transportation Security Administration? We are now hiring for positions at airports everywhere, and the benefits package is as good or better than every other job that you have ever held. Don't let legal issues or your conscience get in the way of a position where you can serve the public in a MEANINGFUL way.
Apply NOW, and get extra perks. We are currently lobbying Congress to allow you to carry weapons (never mind any felony convictions in your past), and if you are one who likes to check people out closely and intimately, you'll certainly enjoy being immune from anything you choose to do to (oops, with) them. HE HE HE...
Anxiously awaiting your response,
Janet Napolitano (former head of DHS, and bulldyke extrordinaire)
P.S.
If you SEE something, (DO NOT!) say something...
It was actually more than that. Back in the film days a 1000 screen opening was big, and 2000 screens was unheard of. My hime town in Michigan didn't get Star Wars until 6 weeks after it opened in the cities, and we got a scratched up print that looked like crap. With digital distribution you can do 10,000 screens on opening day, and a week later when the seats are empty, switch to something else.
That's why the opening weekends are so big. Hype up the movie, get as many people to see it on opening weekend as you can. 10x as many screens means 10x as many suckers.
As for The Interview, it is interesting that these small independent chains pedominantly use the SONY digital cinema projector, a projector so expensive it has to be given to theaters in exchange for a cut of every ticket. Empty theatres with SONY projectors that could be showing a SONY film? Unthinkable!
Let me guess: Cheboygan? I believe the film was suppressed there on account of all the Wookiee women who might've been offended.
<talks into hand> Think 70s bush
Back in the 70's before HFCS, even Northern Michigan girls looked like models compared to the plump youngsters of today.
obvious NWO bullshit. Obama gets to wag his finger and zion mythology is woven to the masses...followed by stuxnet attack in south korea...

about the only hope for an interview for americas working class.
What if the cops interview you? Oh yeah. That's called an interrogation.
The dear leader lost internet ,how will a watch it!
< will watch
< won't watch
Clever
can't wait to download POS for free - screw whorewood
And then what? Watch it? No thanks.
For free?
If not then fuck Sony.
You could not pay me $14.99 plus pizzas and beer to watch this piece of shit from O-Hollywood or O-TV.
F Hollywood and F TV.
I wonder if the past weeks headlines were edited into the hoopla of the movie and this was all ONE BIG MARKETING SCHEME. As well ammo for new laws to keep us safe from something....
And another one bites the dust....
The whole thing was a total scam because it is a shit film. If anyone here tried this BS - we would be in jail. Hollywood and TV are so corrupt - pull the plug.
Exactly.
Is this the type of thing that caused unrest just a few months, maybe a year ago, with a Muslim film?
did everyone forget the whoopla over Red Dawn just another rat in the wood shed
That was a bit before I was mentally taking it all in....I was 9 months old when that dropped. hahaha. But I would assume it was much of the same rinse and repeat!
Goat turd in the Milk Duds.
New model of how Hollywood plans to earn money with shitty, 'seriously unfunny' films:
1. Pretend to have your servers hacked by furriners/terrists/gremlins/12-year old kid w/xbox. Complain to feds that terrists done it, cry big crocodile tears to the media, and appear to capitulate to any false demands made by the terrists.
2. ?????
3. Profit!
Pay for this shit flick? Fuck it. Go to fucking hell, Sony and Youtube.
A SONY Boycott is in order until they fess up it was them....whos with me!
Join with me now, In 3... 2... 1..."WHO CARES?!?"
It's all over torrent sites already. Why pay for this POS?
Seth Rogaine and Jim Flacco! Such chemistry! So seditious! <swoon> /average imdb douche
Any Fuckwad that spends even one penny to watch this needs to be exterminated. W T F....the thought of watching Kim Un Won Ton Whateverthevuckhisnameis in an orgy?? Fuck me...That is just something I don't want etched in my memory. Just saying
Best Zollywood marketing stunt eva. My FB feed is full of dim-witted cousins who bought tickets to see this to show KJU who's boss. *eye roll*
Jews - lies in the headline, corrections in disappearing ink under a story about cockroach farming on page 63.
Ever think that this is tied to the "net neutrallity" bullshit...hmmm they are now going to stream this thing I'm betting at a slow speed with interuptions in packet flows ...you know so netfux gets its higher priced seperate net dedication...kinda funny how all the boohoo over "net neutraallity" just vanished as of late no?
there's always more to this backhanded shit then meets the eye or nose and I smell some other bullshit here
Hollywood is in cahoots with the globalists, pushing their indoctrination at another level. So, the general public can further be manipulated and compliant, with their own executions. Is there any other rational explanation for what we're seeing on all fronts? Or is it just another 'kooky' coincidence?
Food is poison and devoid of nutrients, starving our brains. Water is loaded with unnecessary toxic chemical waste, overloading our ability to flush the poisons out, and the same water is in our foods. The air is being filled with aluminum particles, which has a two-fold result; we breath it in and it acts as another toxin our body cannot process, and it toxifies the soil we grow our food in. Our news and entertainment push agendas that shape the general populus' conscience, making them behave and react precisely and predictably.
I could go on.. but if you've been nodding your head in agreement, then I'm preaching to the choir. If you've been asking yourself what the hell is he talking about, then I suggest you better start looking for answers, or, do the easy thing and get in the cattle car at the FEMA relocation center, when they call your name.. because that's what they're training you to do. Accept the fate that awaits you sleeping giant..... or don't.... you still have some time to wake up, shake it off and get busy. 2015 will be a very interesting year....
"9/11 style attacks on theatres" was the line somewhere in this fiasco better watch for small planes flying through homes now LMAO or maybe a .gov network attack and blames some dumb country like NK ...like I said I smell shit with this whole thing and not just the foul stench of a bad movie... I'm waiting to see how this all pans out...and que the hackers how come we aren't hearing from them on this .... to many variables wanna see how it shakes out
Wonder how many peoples computers will be "hacked" when they rent or purchase this film?
"There had already been such a loss of revenue for this film, I decided that we should just pull it and make it available for rent."
Larry Silverstien
And the lemmings said "yes" I must see it for $10.00... Because the Federal Government told me it was an important story that must be told after enhanced torture report(s) that are censored, drone murders by assassination of alleged terrorist(s) and foreign leaders of governments to loot and occupy going on 14 years...
They think for me.. Therefore I am!
No, no, no!
Do it for free speech! If you dont, the Norks win!
So Sony and the DOD is in the film biz now. Well we do have this here depression goin oon
hollyweird and the pent/DOD have been in bed for years ...ever read who "advises" all those war flicks always a list of majors generals or other NCO peons listed in the credits no news there
If it's one thing I'm sure about it is that Americans won't tolerate censorship, gatekeeping, and attacks on free speech - fair and just criticism of Israel or of Zionist power excepted, of course.
dp
It will be free before they're done trying to charge for it. I can't remember the last time I had to pay to stream a movie over the internet.
The last thing I ever pay-streamed was a season of Tosh.0, simply because I know Danny needed the money.
lol My local news just said the Potemkin village just bought out all the tickets for the Xmas day showings.
Bahh...Bahh... Effin sheep. People that wonder why the equity markets are at all time highs have just had it explained for them.
Stream ?
I piss a better stream than Sony.
On torrent BDRip quality by 5pm. So basically they are giving it away for free
With the knowledge his concession empire is about to be toppled, somewhere in the Alps Mr Claude Jujyfruit has just shot himself.
Wag the Norko Dog, much?
Would Not be surprised if Kim was getting a kickback.
I bought an XboxOne for Christmas thinking I would be a good Dad and drop some coin for the kids. The thing sucks ass so far. $375 for that? And the thing is still sitting there and updating itself. I have not what is so cool about it? And when you are trying to set the thing up you get an interogation on what is you name and address and email account address and when you last took a shit and what color your piss was. Come on man.
My Atari 2600 never asked those questions. It really is my bad though. I'm a typical male in that regard and I waint until the last minute. Maybe it turns out to be cool but I think I pissed off the wife. Oh Oh, she is banging the cupboards and that means she is not thrilled with me. But hey I bought the kids an Xbox and now am am asshole again. I gave it a good try.
Fuck the holidays.
You shoulda got the XBone with a Kinect. Then all you'd have to do is turn around, drop your pants and spread your cheeks. No interrogation, better than fingerprints!
That's how they program you.. you been chumped out of 375 bucks and your privacy and identity, but now you're just like the guy next door!
Ahhh...ye olde Atari 2600, soon followed up with the Commodore 64. Good days they were. Tis much less idyllic these days. Fuck you gov and all you fucking asshole bankers...and any other assholes out there (far too many to mention). Merry christmas to you decent folks. Happy Saturnalia to the rest...assholes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4baSntmh4w
I bought my kids a half ounce gold maple leaf each.
Teach them a thing or two.
1. Pawn Shops of the future have a sweet selection of guitars and amps
2. Dad's tone-deaf and real gold looks like crap
Good choice Roger. We got the fricking thing thing running finally after all of parental controls and and there are no naked ladies. The kids love it though and that is all they are doing. Even the Mrs has played. Me? No, I have never even touched the controller so far. Everyone has played on it but me. Largely this is the case because it does not come with Combat/Pac-man and a joystick. I am sort of pissed about that. For the kind of money you have to fork over for this made in china crap you would think they could throw those games in for Dad aka the sucker who bought it.
Anyways the kids are having fun and I am happy for that fact. Now I will investigate that Rum cake, determine where the est of the rum might have went and later, go fall into the Christmas tree and tell everyone to go the hell. It's a tradition. It's the holidays!
Butthole Surfers - Cherub
Roll back the time of hands. 3 billion US taxpayers dollars/yr. to make Obama wear a Jewish Yakama. Too funny.
A failed interview movie storyline under IncUSA.com.
Film Project Package Prospectus
Gay liberal fags will march in the streets. How dare you reveal our investors.
Does anyone really give a shit? I dont....
The mother of all marketing stunts.
Keep in mind that the 13 year old male is the largest theater ticket buying demographic in the world.
See why Sony is fucked.
whure's teh magnet link?
Patience, maybe the torrent community realise that this film is a piece of shit and doesn't warrant any sort of priority.
Tomorrows headlines will be wondering how such a turd of a movie managed to create such a stir.
The demand was so strong, it crashed our servers! USA! USA!
Progressives still think Edward Bernays marketing plan still works. The ID phase and having thoughts about fucking your mother. Guess the connection. Begins with a F.
They should let the north Koreans view it for free so everyone can see what a farce this whole thing is.
How the fuck is this news?
Fuck you hollywood, fuck you sony, fuck you MSM for giving this retarded rodeo the gift of oxygen.
Sony may have just broken the stranglehold of the theaters on distribution.
Perfectly put.
If Sony wants to exercise free speech, they'll have to step into the zone.
This news is the greatest gift of all time...
Even if i were immortal, I wouldn't let this piece of shit rob 2 hours of my life....
so this is a movie about how the CIA protects us from exploitation and torture
Haha, is funny joke...now about the Torturing...
I remember when it was "stright to video" for a bad movie. The Interview must really suck.
B-E-W-A-R-E!
But don't let it keep you from every legislator, DOJ, DoD, CIA, FBI, NSA official you can whack in D.C.!...
Don't save it for later because you were out of time when you bailed the banks out 6 years ago!!!
Have a long-distance conference with a banker.....Their day is coming...
