Sony Pictures will release “The Interview” in about 300 theaters on Christmas Day, reversing an earlier decision not to show the picture on that date amid threats of violence.
Sony will screen the Seth Rogen-directed movie at the Alamo Drafthouse chain, based in Austin, Texas, and the Plaza Theater in Atlanta. Laemmle Theaters said on Twitter it will screen the comedy about a fictional plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at its North Hollywood location beginning Dec. 31. The film will be shown in about 100 other North American cinemas from next week, according to a Facebook post.
