Interesting. I would feel compelled to see it in a theater for fear of spoilers.

I'll see it in the theatre should it head there. I liked the 1st movie and saw it in the theatre. I feel like the star power alone makes this a worthy theatrical movie and not some "streaming movie" that people will watch and forget in days.

I’d check this out in the theater as well. Sure is a lot of wasted talent on direct-to-streaming these days. That being said, there’s also a lot of hot garbage.

So I am paying you for content, quite a large sum might I add, and you want to make me pay for it again to see in a theater? Fuck right off with that shit.

Basically what HBO Max/Warner does, though The Batman was more popular than Knives Oot.

Decker

Not at all. HBO operates independently from Warner Brothers Studio. Netflix is Netflix.
And let's be clear : The Irishman played in theaters for a month before it came to Netflix, so this isn't unprecedented.

Toddarino

Not exactly the same though. That same day release shit was supposedly in response to the pandemic. A lot of those filmmakers were blindsided when hbo pulled that shit.
Those were never supposed to be out right away. Netflix rarely does theatrical, so this is like a bonus for people who still think movies should be in a theater.

RichC2

They shifted to a 45 day model for 2022. (ie: The Batman, and Fantastic Beasts 3 shows up on May 30th)

Fair I suppose, the previous Netflix theatrical releases have been incredibly limited, hopefully the 45 days gets them into more theaters.

Disney+ may be a better example but is generally a little longer than 45 days.

I saw Army of the Dead and Red Notice a week early in theatres. But they played at 2 small chains (Harkins and Krikorian) in my area. The big chains like AMC and Regal wouldn't play them.

So if this Knives Out sequel does go through with a theatrical release, it needs to get the bigger chains on board.
