CNN's Brian Stelter obtained the email.

In the email, the hackers say Sony made the right decision pulling "The Interview," which portrayed the assassination of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.

US officials believe the hackers were backed by North Korea.

Those hackers promised not to leak any more private Sony data unless Sony reverses its decision and distributes the movie anyway.

Here's the email, as read on air by Stelter:

It's very wise that you have made a decision to cancel the release of "The Interview." It will be very useful for you ... We ensure the security of your data unless you make additional trouble.

According to TheWrap, several Sony employees received another message from a person claiming to be the head of the "Guardians of Peace" warning the studio to not release "The Interview" in any form.

Here's the message in full from TheWrap:

“Now we want you never let the movie released, distributed or leaked in any form of, for instance, DVD or piracy.” “we still have your private and sensitive data” and claims that they will “ensure the security of your data unless you make additional trouble.”

“And we want everything related to the movie, including its trailers, as well as its full version down from any website hosting them immediately.”

Sony decided to pull "The Interview" premiere on Wednesday after five of the top movie-theater chains said they wouldn't show the movie following threats by the hackers, known as Guardians of Peace (GOP).

Sony said it had no plans to release the movie through video on demand or online.

Sony's decision has caused a lot of debate about what kind of precedent it sets when a major corporation bends to the will of hackers or terrorists.

The FBI announced on Friday afternoon that North Korea was involved in the Sony hacks.
