The Sony Pictures comedy "The Interview" grossed more than $1 million in limited release at the U.S. box office on Christmas Day.
Sony had pulled the film from release after major movie chains in the United States reacted to threats made by hackers and said they would not screen it.
But Sony reconsidered after critics said the hacking attack should not be allowed to interfere with freedom of expression.
