Carmike Cinemas Pulls 'The Interview' with S
YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. Sony Pictures has canceled the Dec. 25 release of The Interview after hackers threatened terrorists attacks and the largest multiplex chains in North America pulled the film.
In a statement, Sony said it was cancelling The Interview ''in light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film. The studio said it respected and shared in the exhibitors' concerns.
We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome, read the statement.
The movie is a comedy about two journalist who are tapped by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong Un, the Leader of North Korea.
I wanted to watch it, said Jamila Gicakara, a Chattanooga moviegoer, it seemed really interesting.
An internet hacking group is now threatening violence on theaters that show the controversial movie. Federal authorities tell ABC News they believe an elite cyber-hacking unit out of North Korea is responsible.
We asked people if they would still go see the film, knowing the threats were out there.
I don't think so, said Gicakara
Probably not, said another moviegoer.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are Investigating. They say there is no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theaters within the United States.
Threats are made everyday for many different things, said Amy Brock-hon, it's whether or not you wan to give in to that.
Columbus, Georgia based Carmike Cinemas isn't taking any chances. They've pulled the movie from all 278 theaters they operate, including the ones in and around Chattanooga.
If they felt that there was a reasonable threat and they wanted to keep the movie goers safe then that's there decision, said Brock-hon.
While the movie isn't set to hit the big screen for another week, some moviegoers we spoke with say they'll think twice before buying a ticket to The Interview.
I would wait until the first people went to see it, and if they were fine, then I would see it after them, said Gicakara.
Carmike could not be reached for comment about their decision to pull the movie from theaters.
PREVIOUS STORY
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Carmike Cinemas has decided to cancel its planned showings of The Interview in the wake of threats against theatergoers by the Sony hackers.
Sony Pictures Entertainment told theater owners on Tuesday that it would be supportive of their individual decisions on whether or not to show the film, which is still set for a Christmas release, according to multiple reports.
The late developments came just hours after the hackers released a data dump that they're calling a Christmas gift. Included in the latest breach are emails from Sony Pictures co-chair and CEO Michael Lynton, as well as specific threats against patrons of the comedy, which depicts an assassination attempt against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
In a chilling message invoking the memory of 9/11, the hackers urged audiences to stay away from venues showing the film.
Carmike Cinemas operates 278 theaters across the country and is the first theater to pull the screenings of the controversial film, according to Hollywood trade publications The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
The Georgia-based company is the fourth largest cinema chain in the nation, following Regal, AMC, and Cinemark, none of whom commented on their plans for The Interview showings.
The Department of Homeland Security has said that there is no credible intelligence to indicate a threat, but is still investigating the message.
The National Association of Theatre Owners had no comment a
Sneaky Ways Movie Theaters Get You To Spend More Money
Between ticket prices and concessions, movie theaters are expensive. But movie theater chains like AMC and Regal only keep around 50% of the revenue from ticket sales each year. But theaters are able to keep over 80% of concessions revenue as profit. So most theaters are designed to get you to spend money on food. And it works, AMC reports that more than 71% of attendees spend money on concessions.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
