Could Glass Onion be returning to theaters?
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is currently floating in that awkward in-between place of existence. Its seven-day theatrical run over Thanksgiving weekend is over, and the film won’t hit Netflix until Dec. 23.
Many fans of director Rian Johnson’s first film, Knives Out, came out to the theaters to watch the film, bringing in roughly $15 million in just a week. The short success of the film left many wondering why Netflix didn’t run the film in theaters longer, as it could have made millions more, but Netflix is standing firmly in its belief that streaming comes first.
