And evidently, now the North Koreans want to watch The Interview

The interesting thing is them putting a ban on what's in the
black markets, which... if you can do that, why are there black
markets in the first place?

North Korea and the people that run that country are so far out
of touch with reality. The fact that he wants to watch it now
comes as no surprise. He thinks the movie is gonna make him a
Rockstar in the eyes of the world. What is he? Fourteen?
Fifteen? Just another spoiled little child that thinks the world
revolves around him.

I think there would be a simple solution with technology today.
Internet access.
I'm not sure how North Korea is controlling flow of information,
but we (the rest of the world) should somehow tear open that
wall to let those people see what is real

movie in theaters over there.

So The Interview is set to lose 30 million bucks
HTML http://uproxx.com/movies/2015/01/the-interview-to-lose-30-million/.<br
/> So it's not the game changer everyone thinks it is. I wonder
if they made more than they would have with the insurance claim.

I wonder if they never released it theatrically, but dropped it
on DVD if it would have made more money had THAT been the only
way people would have gotten to see it. Probably not.

[glow=red,2,300]Netflix to stream ‘The Interview’ starting Jan.
24[/glow]
[quote]LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Netflix will offer Sony
Pictures Entertainment's controversial comedy "The Interview" to
U.S. and Canadian streaming members beginning Saturday, Jan. 24,
the company announced Tuesday.
As previously reported by Variety, Netflix in December entered
into talks with Sony about licensing "The Interview" to
streaming subscribers after Starz, which has an output deal with
the studio, released pay-TV window rights.
But it seems that the studio wanted to maximize digital and VOD
sales first before opening up to SVOD: "The Interview" as of
Sunday had generated more than $40 million in revenue via more
than 5.8 million rentals and sales through digital distributors
like Google Play, YouTube and iTunes as well as cable, satellite
and telco TV providers, according to Sony Pictures.
The film stars James Franco and Seth Rogen as two bumbling
American TV journalists enlisted by the CIA to assassinate North
Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The communist regime, according to
U.S. officials, retaliated against SPE in one of the worst
cyber-attacks on a private company to date, resulting in the
release of internal studio emails, documents and several
unreleased movies.
Netflix has exclusive SVOD rights to "The Interview" in the U.S.
and Canada. CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells announced the
deal in their fourth-quarter 2014 earnings letter to
shareholders.
Sony launched digital distribution of "The Interview" on Dec.
24, 2014, a day before it opened in limited theatrical release.
That came after SPE had pulled back plans on its original broad
U.S. release in movie theaters, following threats by the hackers
who attacked the company.
Sony has set Feb. 17 for the "Freedom Edition" release of the
film on DVD and Blu-ray.[/quote]
