Tim League, founder of the Texas-based indie theater chain Alamo Drafthouse, announced via Twitter Tuesday morning that Sony had approved screenings of The Interview, the movie at the center of a geopolitical-corporate debacle:
Breaking news: Sony has authorized screenings of THE INTERVIEW on Christmas Day. We are making shows available within the hour. #Victory

@squanders No, new showtimes. That show will be refunded. New shows up shortly

Sony pulled the film following a massive hack of the studio and threats to screenings; several major theater chains had announced they would not show the movie. Alamo then promised to show Team America, another film making light of North Korea, before Paramount pulled that film as well.
Plaza Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia, also tweeted screening times for the film.
