Not really. Safety may be a concern, but conveience, efficiency, freedom, choice, etc. are weighed against safety all the time.
If North Korea is as dangerous as many people seem to think from this incident, then the US is not safe. After all, apparently they can and will attack us at slightest provocation so why wouldn't they just attack us anyways? I mean, do they think they'd get International support because "We attacked another nation that made a movie we didn't like!"
If someone or a group or a government is dumb enough to kill others because of speech, then yes, I choose the freedom of speech in spite of the consequence that small minded people get offended and actually murder others over it. We shouldn't appease psychopaths at the cost of expression. We all get offended all the time, 98% of us have the good sense to be civil about or displeasure. Don't go to the movie, tell others not to, even picket or boycott the movie. Once you threaten violence you lose all legitimacy...unless of course that threat actually gets what you want, then you validate it for all future arguments on this issue.

The thing is, if the movie got released and people died in a attack there, everyone would now be saying "how could Sony release this?" and a tragedy would have happened.
When someone says there is a bomb on a place, why do they isolate it? To avoid the danger to people. Even if there was never a bomb there to begin with. Why would anyone want to show a movie there when they said it would be bombed or something like this?
Obama doesn't have a problem with his people death? Of course he have! Stop this "my cock is bigger than yours" attitude and understand lives could have been saved because of this. Even a war could have been avoided because of this. A fucking war! Allowing your people to be in danger over making a safety choice, how could anyone be even thinking about it? The theaters did the right choice, Obama is full of shit in his speech.
Wanna counter the terrorism? Okay, that's fine, that kind of ridiculous thing should really never happen, it's a comedy movie and look what it scalated to, it's clear things have to be made, but defying it with your people lives is not a good way to do it.

Well when the dark knight rises came out someone went to a early viewing and shot up the theater. I remember everyone being so scared to go to the movies especially that one in particular. Now its not the same situation but nobody blamed the studio or the movie after ( im pretty sure he called himself the joker). Anyway i still went and saw the movie and id go again.
Ot. Im pretty sure he also praised sony for getting the fbi involved with a couple of hours of the attack. Also he called pulling the movie a mistake so i cant see how this is chastising. Fact is theres a lot of people at fault for why the movie wont be in theaters on its release date (theaters, other studios, motion picture assosiation). All of them were to scared to lend support or help at all when this all went down. So id say its the industries fault before i would ever blame sony.
