Tim League, Austin-based founder of the Alamo Drafthouse, tells The Dallas Morning News via email that “Sony has authorized shows for Christmas Day. Will have Dallas shows on sale within the hour.”

 

The Alamo Drafthouse Richardson says tickets will be available on its website before 11:30 a.m.

 

We’re awaiting word from other exhibitors, as well as from Sony Pictures.

 

Sources familiar with this morning’s conference call say Sony is going to make the movie available to theaters at a reduced rental rate. They also say Sony is looking put it on a streaming service (not yet named) and video on demand by no later than Christmas. More to come.

Sony sure is making this process messy. Some theaters will have it, some won't, probably also on Crackle streaming.
