‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ Get Theatrical Release Date

Knives Out, Rian Johnson’s third film in his Knives Out series, is coming out on Netflix this December. It will be screened in 600 theatres for a week-long event before it becomes available on Netflix. This suspenseful and thrilling movie follows the lives of five men who are at odds with one another. The idea to screen it as an exclusive feature for a week during Thanksgiving was brought up by the director Rian Johnson because he wanted to tie the movie with how families gather around the dinner table on Thanksgiving to enjoy food and a movie together. However, it won’t be released directly to Netflix on December 23 but instead, to the theatres first because of the release schedule for the movie. This will be the first time that a blockbuster movie is screened in theatres before being released straight to Netflix. The movie’s star actors also think that the idea of watching a film in theatres is still exciting, especially when it comes to an exclusive and blockbuster film like Knives Out.
