Sometimes, when the terrorists win, we ALL win:
LOS ANGELES — North America’s three largest multiplex chains – Regal Entertainment, AMC Entertainment and Cinemark — on Wednesday canceled bookings for “The Interview,” a crude comedy that had prompted a threat of terror against theaters.
Together with Carmike Cinemas, which decided not to play “The Interview” late Tuesday, the four exhibitors control more than 19,200 screens in the United States and Canada, ending any prospect of a serious theatrical release.
This sounds as driven by movie house legal team skittishness than any credible threat, but all’s well that ends well.
Open thread.
