You need to be saying "Fuck you AMC" and several other large theater chains. They pulled the film from their theaters. Sony only pulled it after the vast majority of theaters announced they wouldn't show it.

With very few theaters showing it, Sony's not gonna make any money off it. So they pulled it now in the hope the theater chains come to their senses in the future.

It wasn't going to be shown anywhere after AMC and all the other big theater groups said they weren't going to have it in their theaters.

Focusing one's ire on Sony for supposedly not being brave doesn't make sense.
