You're the president of Sony and you're going to expose your company to that

Based on the emails that have been leaked, I'd be fired anyway

Or should be. If Rudin and Pascal survive this, it will be shocking.

It's not about being macho. It's about making money and setting a precedent

Why not leave it up to the theaters then?

Not to mention, by caving you invite similar attacks in the future

Remember that 5 theater chains canceled BEFORE Sony pulled the film.

Yeah, that's fine. Doesn't justify Sony pulling it altogether IMO

Those were the MAJOR chains and you're assuming the minor ones wouldn't follow.

There's an opportunity there for small chains/theaters then

You don't know that.

It would be a real issue if there was a specific threat.

True about liability in terrorist threats but just about every institution

Terrorism is excluded under most insurance liability policies too

Most policies would autoreject it based on "prior knowledge" clauses.

Glad to know that Kim Jung is now able to censor US media as well as his own.

Change liability law then.

Should we cancel every event every time there is a terrorist threat?

If there's no way to limit liability, you are free to do whatever you want with

If that were the case, why not release as stream-able media?

That's the best answer and the one I think they will eventually get to.

Surely many large public events receive terrorist threats, and they are able to
