Netflix to Stream 'The Interview'

Seth Rogen and James Franco's The Interview will be available to Netflix subscribers in the United States and Canada beginning January 24, the streaming giant announced yesterday. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it gives Sony another revenue stream as the studio aims to break even with the movie.

The production budget for ‘The Interview’ was about $44 million - so with the combined $46 million from on-demand and theatrical sales, the studio can now celebrate that it's surpassed that total. The Interview has been rented or purchased online and through cable, satellite and telecom providers more than 5.8 million times. It brought in $15 million online in its opening weekend, and Sony last week added iTunes and several satellite and cable networks to the list of platforms offering the film for rent or purchase.
