It’s been a strange story for The Interview so far, but the film is in theaters now thanks to a last-minute plan by Sony, spurred in part by the efforts of Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League and folks at the Art House Convergence.
And whether or not you’re interested in seeing the film, there’s another good angle to this release: despite being a studio film, the movie is primarily in independent theaters. These are the same businesses that might otherwise struggle as a glut of new releases hits the big chain cinemas. Many of these showings are likely to sell out (tickets might already be gone for Cinefamily in LA), so that’s a good boon for those businesses.
Below is a list of all The Interview theaters — or as close to all of them as we’ve been able to collate so far. There may be a few more, but this is a fairly comprehensive rundown.
Given that the film’s original December 25 release plan was scuttled after the hackers who have targeted Sony invoked 9/11 in a threat agains theaters that play the film, you might wonder about security for these showings. Tim League addressed that question in an interview with Yahoo.
There’s obviously still risk associated with this. Everybody understands that. But I think a lot of the independents and art-house theaters are on the same side of the fence, where if you look at this from a national level, it’s more of a problem to give in. I love that Sony stepped up and said, “Yes, we’re going to support this, we’re going to bring it out.” Otherwise it sets a terrible precedent… We’ve reached out to local police and they’re done venue assessments that walked the venues and looked for potential security problems. We’ve done some training sessions with the staff and the managers, but that’s for the most part where we are. We might hire some additional security; that’s always an option. I don’t think it’s an issue, but we’re going to play it by ear.
(The film is also available via some digital video services such as YouTube, Google Play, and Xbox, but as some have pointed out, the idea of giving out credit card info to buy the movie that has been the target of skilled hackers might be considered a bit hinky.)
