There has been an UPDATE to this story: https://www.flickreel.com/sony-announces-it-will-release-the-interview-online-tonight-us-time/

Sony Pictures Entertainment has made a tentative deal with Google to stream The Interview on YouTube, the latter’s video-sharing website, on Christmas Day according to CNN. If the deal does go ahead, it will make history as being a simultaneous release in both theatres and on demand. It is also unlikely that this will be a YouTube exclusive, as Sony has also been in talks with other VOD providers.
