Many theatres would of shown it. And sales would of been HIGH.

Then after the weekend the main story would of been "No terror attacks makes theaters that pulled the movie look silly"

Those theaters that had not shown it would then have picked it up and we are back to normal.

So Sony still makes money.

How does you logic of Sony having "very little profit" make sense? They have NONE now. But release it to a some theaters and they have profit. And then after no terror attacks they are back to normal.

You sound like Sony to me. Scared of a fake threat. The "could get their asses sued" says it all.

You must be in the mode that these "terrorists" can pull off a terror threat any day they want but just need a good reason. Bullshit.
