So I managed to avoid most of the sensationalist media hype surrounding the movie. Honestly it just wasn’t my kind of movie, I wouldn’t have gone out to see it in the theater.
Now I find out it has made $31 million via digital distribution.
It is remarkable that Sony had to be forced “forced” by a group of hackers to go this route. This just shows that it is possible to be making money from a digitally distributed film, as opposed to traditional physical releases.
Now if they’d only try it with a movie that I wanted to watch.
