NEW YORK CITY — Now that Sony has decided to allow theaters to screen "The Interview," several small, independent New York City venues will screen the raunchy comedy on Christmas Day.
Sony initially canceled its national movie release after several major theater chains backed out of screening "The Interview” when they received online threats of violence if they showed it.
On Wednesday, Sony released the film for rental on a variety of digital platforms.
The film portrays Seth Rogen and James Franco as a pair of journalists who travel to North Korea to interview dictator Kim Jon-Un, and are tasked by the CIA to assassinate him.
Here's where you can see it on Christmas Day:
Manhattan:
Cinema Village, 22 E. 12th St., New York, NY 10003
Quad Cinema, 34 W. 13th St., New York, NY 10011
Brooklyn:

The movie will also hit theaters after Christmas. The Film Society of Lincoln Center will start showing the film on Friday.
