Sony initially pulled "The Interview" from its theatrical release after a group of hackers known as the Guardians of Peace threatened the company. Soon after, President Obama said in a news conference that Sony made a "mistake" by giving into the hackers and canceling the film's release. 

Since "The Interview" was released on Dec. 24, it has been purchased and rented more than 2 million times.
