The Interview became famous for reasons that went far beyond its comedy. Its portrayal of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sparked an international controversy before the film’s release. Following a major cyberattack against Sony Pictures and threats surrounding theatrical screenings, Sony changed its distribution plans and released the movie digitally in the United States on December 24, 2014. The studio later reported more than 4.3 million online and cable transactions during its first 12 days of availability, generating over $31 million in consumer sales. The controversy turned the film into a major discussion about freedom of expression, cybersecurity and the power of digital distribution.
