Altho, given the horrible reviews the movie has gotten, one wonders if the chains weren't merely using the threat as an excuse to get rid of a stinker, especially at Xmas time.

Well they're caving because the theaters caved. Once AMC, Regal, etc. said they weren't running it, Sony didn't really have a choice.

They could still have released it through video-on-demand or direct-to-DVD. All the publicity it's received guarantees that a huge number of people will want to see it regardless of how good it is.

Financially, it may well make sense for them to let the insurance company take that risk.
