Christmas miracle: "The Interview" to be shown at theaters on December 25

Yes, Kim Jong Un, there is a Santa Claus. Despite the North Korean hack attacks, "The Interview" will show on Christmas.

From AP:
Several movie theaters said they will begin showing "The Interview" Thursday, seemingly putting the comedy back in theaters after Sony Pictures Entertainment canceled its release.

The Alamo Drafthouse in Texas said on Tuesday that Sony has authorized it to screen the film starting Christmas Day. Atlanta's Plaza Theater also said it will show the film.

Representatives for Sony did not immediately comment.

Such a release would enable "The Interview" to open in select theaters and avoid the national chains that dropped the North Korea satire last week. Sony's cancellation of the movie following terrorist threats from hackers drew widespread criticism, including from President Barack Obama.
This move by Sony is a victory for free speech.
