It'll show in three Texas cities and a theater in Atlanta. The theater names were not released. It's unknown whether or not Sony will release it for home video.

Now the question becomes, Knowing what the North Koreans did to Sony, would you download or purchase this movie if you thought that the North Koreans might go after those who they know have viewed the movie with more cyberattacks?

I watched Scott Pilgrim vs The World again last night.
Man I love this movie. So nerdy, so many references.

I agree. the chemistry amongst the characters was real and made the journey so much more than "Look at this cool creature we're fighting!" The first Star Wars trilogy had this too while the second suffers from the same lack of it as the Hobbit(s).
I think the all-cgi backdrops also contribute mightily to the stale feeling.
In LOTR, they went to all of these amazing locations to film while in the Hobbit, the one that's supposed to be in a sunnier, lighter era, it all looks drab and dreary.
Seriously, Jackson got just about everything wrong with this project.

I read the book once and it was several years ago, so I honestly don't remember that.
I remember the ending, but that's about it.

I actually found the movie to be more engaging than the book, iirc.

I know that the Hobbit movie will be a dumpster fire, but i will see it through.

The Battle of the Five Armies is the lowest scoring of the three Hobbit films, scoring 60% on RottenTomatoes, The Desolation of Smaug scored 74%, An Unexpected Journey got 63%. I'm not expecting much out of this, and will wait to see it for free instead of in the theater.
I had trouble staying awake during the first two movies, and that rarely happens to me during a movie.
