'The Interview' is over. Sony has not only canceled the December 25th release of the movie, they've pulled their TV campaign over hacker threats, losing $60 million in marketing costs.

Sony released a statement:

'In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film 'The Interview,' we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release. We respect and understand our partners' decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theater-goers. Sony Pictures has been the victim of an unprecedented criminal assault against our employees, our customers, and our business. Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails, and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like. We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public. We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome.'

Hollywood is reacting over the news and they aren't happy.

You won't be able to see 'The Interview' in the comfort of your own home either. Sony won't release it on DVD or video on demand either.

Before all this, I had no interest in watching the movie. Now, the hackers are making me and most of America want to see it, whether its good or not.

Hollywood isn't happy. What do you think? Should Sony have caved after hacker threats?
