Its limited theatrical release over the Christmas holiday weekend may not have been ideal for all moviegoers, but millions of people still ponied up to see "The Interview" -- from the comfort of their own homes.
According to data release by Sony, the controversial comedy scored a whopping $15 million debut online through various streaming and VOD channels. More than 2 million people either rented or bought the film through Google Play, YouTube, or Xbox, Sony said.
Those numbers make "The Interview" Sony's highest-grossing online release of all time. It also brought in approximately $2.8 million from 331 independent theaters over the four-day weekend.
While that theatrical gross is a far cry from what Sony initially expected from the Seth Rogen and James Franco-starring comedy, the online numbers are a good sign for the studio, which has struggled in recent weeks. The nationwide release of the movie was scrapped altogether by Sony following a massive hacking attack (most likely perpetrated by North Korea) and threats of violence on theaters that screened the flick; the studio eventually backtracked on that cancellation in favor of the limited screenings and VOD plan.

The second-to-last "Hunger Games" installment saw the franchise slowing down, focusing mostly on the political machinations associated with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her decision to lead the underground rebellion in earnest. Action was in short supply in this entry; instead it was all about mood, tension, and unspoken sexual anxiety. (This was the first one without any actual, you know, games.) And yet it was just as thrilling, giving an even more rounded view of the dystopian future and the people personally affected by the ruling powers keeping the weak and poor under their boot. It's also a rousing call to arms, saying that those underneath that boot can (and should) rise up. Power to the people y'all. Hopefully everything explodes in the second installment, due next Thanksgiving, but even if it doesn't, another mood piece would be OK with me.
