Unless the FBI specifically told them they knew there was a nork agent with a bomb on the loose, I'm pretty sure this is mostly to drive outrage and thus sales. Because studio heads are cowards, sure, but they are also greedy fucks who know that if a cinema actually did get bombed that would probably just lead to everyone patriot-watching the gently caress out of it.

I'm in your shoes because right now if they did a direct to video release it would more than recoup their expenditure so far. They could put that on itunes and amazon instant for $20 and would sell a gently caress ton of copies. Basically anyone that would have possibly thought about going to a theater is just going to buy it direct. Sony has 42 million to cover here.

I think there's a disconnect here. A $42 million dollar comedy isn't a gamble especially with Franco/Rogen. You guys are welcome to throw in your personal take on them as actors or whatever, but the guys earn money for studios and their movies turn a profit.

This Is The End netted the studio nearly $130 million just on release. That's not counting home releases, streaming, and whatever revenue sources they had lined up.

The quality of a movie doesn't correlate to its profitability.

Yea absolutely. Because if this was the case and it became known, Sony would be set on fire within the week. Hardly any corporate entity is going to concoct a terrorist-related plotline with threats of violence to the public as a means to stir up sales. They'd have to be remarkably tone deaf.

FBI came out today, and then after that they said officially the NORK's done did hacked Sony, confirming what everyone already knew but it's the FBI so they had to get in a good game of retard ball before any announcement. The FBI also stated they will work with other partners like Sony to deal with any attacks, and that our government will have a proportional response for NK for this. Since NK isn't a US citizen they can drone strike, or a journalist that wrote a story they didn't like who they intervene to keep in jail I assume proportional response means our current President does nothing.

The FBI said the Sony thing was a threat to national security, so I guess we annexed Sony when nobody was looking. We should definitely kick out Florida to keep the flag how it is

The simplest way I see Sony using this Nork hacking threat as a means to bolster sales is because they're loving tone deaf and don't realize they live in America. Even the liberals in this country are calling that movie studio a pussy for balking on the release.

While I think this is probably the best publicity this movie would have ever gotten, I don't think it's intentional. I posted above that a $42 million dollar movie isn't a gamble in the way a $300 million dollar new Bond movie is. There's a thousand ways to make money back on a small investment like that, and they have the historical precedent to do so based on Franco/Rogen's previous work.

Compared to who, the rest of the Nork army? Who gives a poo poo. You could defeat them with a goddamn Snickers bar, since they'd probably run into the first 7-11, eat everything in sight, and then keel over dead from insulin shock. And who gives a poo poo if they start up the cyberwarfare? The US has been sitting on its rear end for too long, let some of these companies have to spend money (God FORBID) upgrading an out of date infrastructure they've been warned for 15 loving years isn't as secure as they masturbate about. Who gives is poo poo if the movie hurts some fat gently caress's feelings. The fact that Sony caved isn't goddamn surprising, since King Joke Illin' probably mashed his fat loving fingers against the phone until China picked up so he could alternate between whining about his feelings, cramming more food in his gaping hamburger eating device, and threatening to have a bunch of starving Norks pass horseshit in a big line till they dumped it in the river or mumbled about ATOMIC HOLOCAUST, so China whined at Japan, who whined at Sony, who said "gently caress it" and cancelled the loving thing.

Either that or Sony's worried that the Norks will release some incriminating emails and then they have to put up with King Joke Illin's whining along with Tumblr crying about some bullshit.

And oooh, their snake eaters are good. So loving what if the 40 loving special ed on the food rotation got full meals so they could backflip and make karate yells in front of a camera or some half-wit diplomat or reporter more interested in the 15 year old Nork girl trying to suck her next meal out of the cock stuffed in her mouth, which is probably the most meat she's ever had in her mouth compared to all her meals combined, so her stomach stops eating itself. Contrary to what every goddamn Spetz, Ranger, GS-Goon, and every other operator would make you believe, you can't win a loving war with just special ed all fighting over the same loving snake to eat. It requires infrastructure to carry out the surgical missions that they get tasked with, from guys who can, you know, READ to work on the lovely helicopters that even the US of goddamn A has a gently caress of a time keeping from falling out of the air and killing everyone on board, to the half-wit drunken ammo-rats maintaining their goddamn ammunition, to the slutty 2 in the World 9 in the Field medic with a case of crabs and an IQ less than her bra size to patch their retarded rear end when they choke on their loving dog-tags, to the operations teams that need to, you know, READ A GODDAMN MAP, to plan where to do the operation instead of vaugely waving in a direction and say "Blow up America. All of it. With two grenades and a a handful of fertilizer and a canteen full of diesel fuel.

You know, things that the Nork Army can't probably even do beyond 1970's levels, and if you asked half their soldiers to walk to the train station to report duty they'd probably die or pass out from malnutrition.

Hell, even if they, somehow, manage to actually do something in America, like we haven't done worse. We've got hair dyed fucks opening up on theaters and disgruntled virgins with a mad-on at anything with a axe-wound with a better K:D ratio than the Norks could ever hope to achieve. And to top it off, even if they SOMEHOW managed to smuggle one of their lovely nuclear weapons into the US, and they SOMEHOW detonated it, and it SOMEHOW loving actually worked more than just making a noise like an old man making GBS threads his Depends, we can take the damage and not even really notice it, compared to what would happen to their poo poo-hole of a country, because if there's one thing the US can do with the glorious spirit of AMERICA! gently caress YOU! is turn a shithole into an even bigger shithole where the locals are finding unexploded ordnance with their feet two loving generations later. And King John Phil loving knows it, no matter how much people want to portray him as some Uber-Good cruising D&D and furiously blogging on Tumblr. He knows we could take his entire loving country and turn it into a goddamn wasteland without ever having a single loving troop come closer than the flight/bombing ceiling or how far it takes some loving Aegis Cruiser to launch a missile after some fat loving sailor with a double digit IQ and a wife getting gangbanged by Marines back home presses a button made in China by loving peasants.

I'm a goddamn drunk, and even I can do the goddamn math that the Norks lovely tanks and anti-tank weaponry would be about as useful against anything a modern military can field as staring at the sun would be effective in causing an eclipse. The only reason, the ONLY loving REASON that nobody has bombed that lovely hell-hole into a copy of the Middle East is because nobody wants to be responsible for feeding, housing, clothing an entire generation that is about as capable of living in the modern world as a mud-person is capable of farting and flying to the goddamn moon. His lovely nuke isn't a goddamn deterrent, his hordes of uneducated, starving, desperate people is the real deterrent. China doesn't even want them as slave labor to work in Apple's factories making cheap loving iPads.

They're about as much a threat to the US as my dick is to J-Lo's throat.
