The Sony hack/The Interview news doesn't look good, but my wishful thinking side thinks this will turn the movie into a blockbuster

Posted by con_carne Dec 17 '14, 08:45

Not for thumbing our nose at North Korea, but just purely on the publicity. "The movie they don't want you to see."

But my cynical brain says people will stay away out of fear and the movie will bomb. Thoughts?

I don't think they're promoting NKs problem with it enough. Don't think people will stay away out of fear. -- nm - Loyola Dec 17, 08:48
But to your point: we are irrationally fearful of some things (terrorist attacks) and not of other things (driving) far more likely to kill us. -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 08:47 1
- Yep, people feel they have control when they are in a car, so even if it doesn't make sense statistically, it makes intuitive sense. - Roger More Dec 17, 08:53

- I know, but news like this always makes me look away and come back after the dust up -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 08:56
I've seen a few folks say they had no desire to see the movie but are pissed off and would go now in support -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 08:46 1
- I think they say that, but they don't really mean it. -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 08:47
It could be Straight-To-DVD at this rate. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 08:46 2
- Yes. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 17, 08:59
- this. although the hackers stepped over the line from "who cares" to "torture death kill" when they started throwing 9/11 around -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 08:46
