"This is where @Netflix can flex its muscle. Show the Academy that it’s cool to embrace the comedy genre, and do so with an elevated pizzazz.

The #KnivesOut sequel already seems like a hit."

I'm guessing the netflix route is due the panini right? Cause other than it's surprising since the first one got a theatrical release and did really well a the box office.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Netflix didn't release the first one, they bought the rights and told Rian Johnson no to a theater release because they want those people who would see it in theaters to instead subscribe.

I’d assume it’ll get some sort of theatrical release! I was at one of the TIFF screenings and it was a lot of fun to watch with an audience.

it'll get a very limited run in a couple of theaters in la/nyc so it can be eligible for oscars

netflix already owns the paris theatre in nyc so i expect it'll play there for opening weekend

[thatgum_youlike]

nah, iirc netflix won a big bidding war for the sequel(s). they will probably do some type of theatrical run for it like they did with the irishman and roma

[theharleyquinn]

with their subscriptions taking a dip i wonder if they'll change their mind

[skeetertuskin]

they won't. this is their strategy. purchasing rights to franchises/sequels to well established and bonafide cinema hits so they can attract fans to subscribe now they won't be able to watch it in theaters or rent.

not the pandemic- netflix paid Rian Johnson $400 million to get two sequels

[genbu_no_miko24]

:O!!

If only you could see how bug-eyed I got when I saw "$400M"!! LOL I know the first one did really well but damnnnn!!
