It's unclear whether or not Sony will push the premiere, release the movie online, or scrap it altogether.

If Sony chooses to nuke the movie, it could lose about $100 million, according to calculations by The Wrap. That includes production costs, marketing costs, and penalties Sony would have to pay for canceling the movie.
