The Interview is coming to (select) theaters on Christmas Day. After allegedly getting hacked by North Korea, and bowing to their demands,  Sony finally scooped up the balls to go forward with this damn thing.

Reports Deadline:

Sony Pictures Entertainment today announced that The Interview will have a limited theatrical release in the United States on Christmas Day.

“We have never given up on releasing The Interview and we’re excited our movie will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day,” said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Entertainment. “At the same time, we are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience.”

“I want to thank our talent on The Interview and our employees, who have worked tirelessly through the many challenges we have all faced over the last month. While we hope this is only the first step of the film’s release, we are proud to make it available to the public and to have stood up to those who attempted to suppress free speech.”

The movie release announcement comes after President Obama basically called Sony cowardly for complying with North Korea to begin with.

In related news, North Korea is still having Internet connectivity trouble after yesterday’s outage.
