Allen Theaters, based out of Las Cruces, said it would not be screening the Sony Pictures film in its 16 theaters in 11 cities across New Mexico and Colorado. Following Allen Theaters' decision to not show the film, Sony released a statement stating it would not move forward with the planned Dec. 25 release of "The Interview" after a majority of its exhibitors decided to not show the film.
