Sony will release a ‘freedom edition’ of ‘The Interview’

Sony appears determined to milk their release of “The Interview” for all it’s worth, so now you can purchase a “Freedom Edition” of the DVD–a mix of patriotism and helping Sony pay off the debt they’re in from canceling its release over terror threats.

Earlier this month the film had grossed $31 million from online sales, and $5.8 million in theaters. It cost $44 million for Sony to produce, so at this point, they’re still hoping to break even.

The movie has been available on demand and in independent theaters for several weeks now, but will go on sale for DVD and Blu-Ray February 17.

The collectible “freedom edition” will add 90 minutes of bonus features, including gag reels and deleted scenes.

Americans—particularly George Clooney—were not pleased by Sony’s initial decision to pull the movie.
