Why do you assume the film will lose money?

Its the not the movie that will loose money per say. Its the fact that Sony is down and loosing money daily because of this hack. Over all they are going to be out tons of cash, and that usually leads to lay offs.

Yes, this movie is going to LOSE money. Carmike has decided not to show the movie for the time being. They may later, but it won't be until after the first of the year, and most likely, not at all...

Well, it seems that some private companies like movie theater chains do take cyber threats and bomb threats seriously, and are not willing risk their employees and patrons on principle.

I'm sorry this is effecting you personally, ohfour. But I am looking at the bigger picture, as in world picture. We are suddenly extremely weak as a nation and as a people.
I see nothing good coming for this whole cyber hack job. The people of the USA are now living in fear and bowing down to it. A sad day in history, IMHO.

These are private businesses making the decision not to put people at risk. The government has nothing to do with this. I cannot imagine being the one that decides to run this movie on principle so as not to bow down to terrorists, and then the theater gets blown up.

It would be different if nothing had been done to provoke it - but we know that is not the case.

I flew on a plane shortly after 9/11 with 9 students in my care. People were aghast that I would put myself, my son and other kids at risk. I choose not to be controlled by the possibility of a terrorist attack. So did the other parents.

Fear is a choice.

The movie got a 1.5 star rating out of 5.

I don't know if that was just a trailer, or if the movie's actually out.

Totally different. There was no immanent threat. They didn't SAY anything was going to happen. This is a direct threat to direct buildings. Building that do not have the security measures the airports have.

Carmike has made a business decision. There are plenty of other good movies to see that week. We will be seeing American Sniper on Christmas Day.

So is prudence and safety.

Oh yeah - and not insulting world leaders by making a movie about all the different ways to kill them. I think that is the part that really sticks for me - it was an unprecedented offensive decision made completely in bad taste. It's a crime in this country to make deaths threats against our leader, so we should know better than to do it against any world leader. And no - the crazy leader of North Korea doesn't understand satire.

This could have easily been avoided.

Yes - we DO evacuate buildings when there is a bomb threat. I guess we should just ignore those and sit pretty when a building might blow up.

And seeing that Obama is prisoner swapping again (without even telling Congress, much less getting their approval), maybe we SHOULD be a little more concerned...

According to the news, there is no direct threat against any particular movie theater at this time. I think the intelligence community would be aware of a direct threat. Our government has been strangely silent.

Of course there's not a threat to a particular theater. That would be stupid. Then they could just shut down 1 or 2. They made it broad for a reason.

I guess I am a gambler at heart. If you know what I mean. What would be the odds?

As strictly as weapons materials are controlled in America, I think the odds are about .001%.

Good grief, they even monitor who buys pressure cookers now.

I know what you mean Czech. I think the theaters are just trying to make money. There MAY BE (I'm obviously not one of them) many people that would not go to a theater that is showing this movie, out of fear. That's lost revenue. I think their thinking is to just not show it and they wont be considered a target so the masses will still come. KWIM?

No, we don't need to be better, we are already the best the world has to offer. The world clambers to our doors, not the other way around. The world does not get to dictate what our FREE culture produces for humor. We still have freedom of speech. Well...we did, until this week.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

No, we are not. Other countries, whether widely released or not, have not made movies about the many varied ways to kill a world leader. And freedom of speech does NOT include freedom from consequences of that speech.

People keep throwing around "freedom of speech", blah blah - this is NOT a government issue - our constitutional rights are not in question. This is about being stupid and offensive and knowing when you have been. When someone uses their constitutional rights to be ASSININE, there are going to be repercussions.
