Sony Pictures has cancelled the planned release on 25 December of the film The Interview, after major cinema chains decided not to screen it.
The film is about a fictional plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Earlier, the New York premiere of The Interview was cancelled. Sony says it understands its partners' decision.
"We respect and understand our partners' decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theatre-goers."
Has Sony made the right decision to cancel the release of this movie?
