Following news that all the major U.S. movie theater chains would not be showing 'The Interview,' Sony Pictures announced it was canceling the release of the film, which was slated to open on Christmas in the U.S.
While a minority praised the move, which was made because the cyber criminals threatened terrorist attacks on movie theaters, most of vocal Hollywood seems to be outraged by the decision.

Here are a few of the most notable tweets on the decision:

It's a comedy about the world's worst dictator. Yet Hollywood's caved to a bit of bullying? Incredible. > http://t.co/X7JxNUFKf3 #sony

Dear Sony Hackers: now that u run Hollywood, I'd also like less romantic comedies, fewer Michael Bay movies and no more Transformers.

What 1st Amendment? #sony

America will NEVER give in to the demands of terrorists! (unless they don't like our movies in which case we will fold like a beach chair.)

So every time anyone ever makes a threat to, say, a chain of stores, or all the airports in the country, we should shut 'em down?

. @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent.

Saw @Sethrogen at JFK. Both of us have never seen or heard of anything like this. Hollywood has done Neville Chamberlain proud today.

.@RobLowe it wasn't the hackers who won, it was the terrorists and almost certainly the North Korean dictatorship, this was an act of war
