Princeton's Garden Theater Supports Release of The Interview

The Garden Theater in Princeton issued the following statement, also posted on their blog, concerning the release of The Interview, this week:

On Tuesday, Sony Pictures announced that it would be opening the controversial comedy The Interview on 200-300 independent screens on Christmas Day.

This came after an open letter to Sony from Art House Convergence Director Russ Collins and a petition signed by over 500 independent and art house theaters calling for the release of the film.

Renew Theaters, on behalf of the County, Ambler, Hiway, and Garden Theaters, signed this petition and supports the showing of the film.

While we will not be opening the film on Christmas Day, we stand in strong support of those theaters that will be doing so.

We also are planning special one-night screenings of The Interview in January (as soon as SONY permits such bookings) in further support of the filmmakers and free speech.
