KnivesOut Glass Onion was a fantastic movie -- quite different than the first, but fantastic nonetheless. I'm baffled that Netflix didn't release it in theaters* (not really at least). Here's the rough math:
- Knives out 1 did $300M+ in box office, with 25% of that marked as pure Profit
- Knives out 2 reached 35M households in the first 3 days of online release
- If you can believe that KO2 would've done $500M in revenue, that would've put profits in the range of $100M-$150M
Netflix's entire Q4 profits are projected to be around $1.5B... aka releasing the movie in theaters would've single-handedly boosted profits by +10% (or a full 2 seasons of the Witcher made for free!!)
I can't fathom why you'd hold back the release (particularly when you think every US household already has access to NFLX)
Ted Sarandos Reed Hastings humor me with an answer if y'all get bored this holiday season 🙏🏽😁
