Theaters begin delaying screenings of "The Interview" amid threats
Fallout surrounding the Sony Pictures film "The Interview" continues.
After canceling the New York premiere of the comedy about the assassination of North Korean President Kim Jong-Un, several movie theater chains have now said they will delay plans to feature the film on their screens.
The theaters include Carmike Cinemas and Regal, who have made the announcement official.
AMC, Cinemark and Cineplex haven't formally announced their plans, but the Hollywood Reporter said they too would postpone their screenings.
A threat against theaters planning to show the controversial movie was published on the Internet on December 16th.
It promised a "bitter fate" for those who went to see the movie which is scheduled for general release on December 25th.
But Cybersecurity expert Emilian Papadopoulos says there's not much intelligence to back the threats.
