Netflix Giving 'Knives Out 2' Big Plex Play Before Drop on Service

[Mark Jeffries]

Around 600 screens will be showing "Glass Onion:  A Knives Out Mystery" over Thanksgiving weekend, including for the first time for Netflix AMC and Regal theaters, and then the film will get a rest until it drops on Dec. 23 on the service, although it is possible that if it does well (which it probably will), it could run through December in theaters:

Daniel Craig is back as the detective, with a new star-studded group of suspects including Janelle Morae, Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn (who will appear at the Chicago International Film Festival screening in a week or two to claim a career achievement award), Leslie Odom, Jr. and Kate Hudson.  After the first film became a surprise global hit before the pandemic, Netflix paid $469M for the rights to two sequels.
