Netflix will release the sequel to “Knives Out” in hundreds of theaters for one week around Thanksgiving, a month before it debuts on the streaming service
The streaming company’s release plan for the sequel to filmmaker Rian Johnson’s popular movie is significant because of the number and range of cinemas in which the film will appear, as well as the amount of time between the film’s premiere in theaters and its Dec. 23 release on Netflix.
For Netflix, this has rarely meant more than a few hundred theaters and one or two weeks. Among its longest theatrical runs were 2018’sbefore it began streaming, and 2019’s “The Irishman,” which spent nearly a month in theaters before becoming available on Netflix. This is the first time a Netflix film has appeared in Regal or AMC theaters and across all three major U.S. theater chains.
AMC Chairman Adam Aron said Thursday that the agreement with Netflix “sufficiently respects the sanctity of our current theatrical window policy.” Finding a way for streamers and theaters to work together would help theaters make more money and help movies eventually reach a broader audience when they land on streaming services, he said.
“These movies are made to thrill audiences, and I can’t wait to feel the energy of the crowd as they experience” the film, Mr. Johnson, its director, said in a statement.
