According to studio predictions made on Sunday, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever maintained its box office dominance for a fourth consecutive weekend, and the comic holiday thriller Violent Night launched with $13.3 million. However, a movie that was glaringly missing from theatres was the topic of conversation this past weekend.
Rian Johnson’s whodunit sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery would have been one of the weekend’s top draws if Netflix had allowed it to remain in theatres. Glass Onion was launched last weekend by the streamer in around 600 cinemas as part of its first agreement with North America’s biggest chains. The Netflix movie allegedly made roughly $15 million, which is a commendable sum for a medium-sized release even though it is substantially less than the 4,000+ theatres most blockbuster movies launch in.
