Sony/the theatres didn't really require the threat of violence to pull The Interview; it seems plausable that they cancel/postpone the release because the hackers potentially had really, double-bad-super-embarrassing data that they had not released yet.
But this is a different company entirely (Paramount), with no known hack and no threat of violence against them. What's going on?
