Update: Sony Pictures has now officially confirmed that The Interview will be released in theaters on Christmas Day. "We have never given up, Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Entertainment, said in a statement. "We are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience."
