Independent theaters in Texas and Atlanta are saying that they’ve received the go-ahead to show the film Thursday.
The Dallas Morning News has more: “Sources familiar with this morning’s conference call say Sony is also going to make the movie available to theaters at a reduced rental rate, as well as put it on a streaming service (not yet named) and video on demand by no later than Christmas.”
