On February 6th, Sony Pictures plans on releasing The Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, in 200 movie theaters across Mexico.

The controversial film, a spyjinks comedy which includes the assassination of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, had its nationwide release in the US cancelled on December 17th, after a crippling cyberattack on Sony was followed by a cloud of terrorist threats from a hacking group who call themselves the "Guardians of Peace."

But after a huge backlash and the surprise intervention of US President Barack Obama, the studio released The Interview in selected American cinemas over Christmas, and has managed to generate around $5 million in revenues since.

The announcement of the Mexico release came as Sony’s chief executive slammed the "vicious and malicious cyberattack" on its systems that resulted in the release of confidential data including employees’ personal information, unreleased films, and embarrassing emails between executives.

The FBI blamed the hack on North Korea, claiming it was a response to Sony’s plan to release The Interview, although Pyongyang has denied the allegations.

The Hollywood Reporter noted that although the release is modest by Mexican standards, the movie will enjoy an added boost when it debuts in theaters across the United Kingdom on the same day.

Ironically, the Spanish-language title is Una Loca Entrevista (A Crazy Interview) which is particularly appropriate considering the zany events surrounding its American release.
