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

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

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

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

Terrorism is excluded under most insurance liability policies too

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
