The early reviews are that the movie isn't awesome [1]. Even a Sony exec said it's just not that good of a movie. They probably will do a PPV release though.

It doesn't matter if the movie sucks.

With this much publicity surrounding the movie, people are going to want to find out what the bug deal is. Trust me, the first weeks of release the numbers will be through the roof. After that, I'm sure they'll fall off a cliff.

This is already a cult classic and it hasn't even been released.

It might never be released. Sony has pulled it from theatrical release and said there are no plans for video-on-demand or DVD release.

Hard to imagine it's much different than pineapple express and this is then end, both of which have similar RT critic scores at the moment. If you liked those you'll probably like this one.
