I just did a spit take. Netflix has reported box office grosses, maybe for the first time ever. (No , it’s the second time. The first was a move no one ever heard of called “After Ever Happy.” It made $900K in the US and $12 million internationally.)
I guess they’re happy that “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” has made $3.88 million in two days. The film is playing for one week in 600 theaters.
This is the equivalent of a press release from the Kremlin, or Kim Jong Un reporting how many enemies and family members he killed over the weekend. Amazing.
Reports from theaters show that “Glass Onion” showings are at least 80% full. My advice: as long as you’re in the theater, go see “The Fabelmans.” That’s how I saw these two movies in Toronto, back to back, and it was an excellent double feature!
