Art House Convergence, which represents independent exhibitors with a total of 250 screens, has told Sony Pictures that its members want to screen “The Interview.”
In an open letter to top studio executives Michael Lynton and Amy Pascal, the group pledged its support for the studio and its employees in the wake of the massive hack attack. The nationwide Christmas Day release of “The Interview” was canceled following the hackers’ Dec. 16 threat that theaters showing the film could be the targets of 9/11-style attacks.
“Your Art House motion picture colleagues wish to support you and your company,” said Russ Collins, the group’s director, in a letter released Monday.
“Circumstance has propelled ‘The Interview’ into a spotlight on values, both societal and artistic, and in honor of our support, we want to offer our help in a way that honors our long tradition of defending creative expression.”
