‘The Interview’ to stream on Netflix beginning January 24

Published January 21, 2015 4:22pm ET



Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, “The Interview” will begin streaming on Netflix January 24, according to Variety.

The film, of course, generated quite the controversy when it sparked hack attacks on movie studio Sony Pictures originating from North Korea. “The Interview” (again, in case you haven’t already seen it) centers around a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

While the film was released in select theaters on December 25 as well as being rented and sold by digital distributors and satellite and telco television providers, Sony held off on allowing Netflix to offer the film to its subscribers until now.

The movie has reportedly generated over $40 million for the movie studio from online and on-demand sales and rentals.

So, Netflix users that are getting antsy about the “House of Cards” premiere have a little something to keep themselves busy until February 27.
