A controversial comedy will premiere in Saskatchewan this week.

Saskatoon’s Roxy Theatre and Regina’s Studio 7/Rainbow Cinemas will be showing The Interview–starring James Franco and Seth Rogen–starting Friday, Jan. 2 and running until Thursday, Jan. 8.

The movie about assassinating the leader of North Korea grossed more than $15 million from online sales in four days.

It’s theatrical release in Canada was supposed to be Christmas Day, but was postponed following a cyber hack on Sony Pictures.
