He also said he wishes SONY had contacted him before they made this decision so it really does impact the country more than you want to believe. This was done to our country via SONY.

If anyone looks back over the events of this past week, they would realize it was the four major theater chain owners who decided they would not show the movie therefore forcing Sony to cancel the opening. If there is no distribution, there can be no screenings. It was the theater owners who forced Sony's hand, and it would have been the theaters who would be paying the lawsuits had something bad happened.
