Calling all Knives Out fans! Rian Johnson’s much-anticipated sequel is coming out at the end of this year on Netflix. If you want to see the film in a proper theater, however, you’re in luck! AMC, Regal and Cinemark locations will have the movie for one week only over the Thanksgiving holiday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Glass Onion will play in over 600 theaters the week of November 23-29. That’s almost a month before the movie drops on Netflix, and the streaming platform is reportedly making this move in order to beef up hype about the film.

“We’re excited to offer fans an exclusive sneak preview of Rian’s incredible film,” Netflix film boss Scott Stuber said in a statement. “Given the excitement surrounding the premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, we hope fans will enjoy this special theatrical event in celebration of the film’s global debut on Netflix in December.”
Johnson is no doubt equally excited, especially since he’s reportedly been pushing for the movie to have a theatrical release for months. The movie stars Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, who finds himself once again in the middle of a mystery.
Here’s Glass Onion’s official synopsis:
Benoit Blanc returns to peel back the layers in a new Rian Johnson whodunit. This fresh adventure finds the intrepid detective at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. Among those on the guest list are Miles’ former business partner Andi Brand, current Connecticut governor Claire Debella, cutting-edge scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer and former model Birdie Jay and her conscientious assistant Peg, and influencer Duke Cody and his sidekick girlfriend Whiskey. As in all the best murder mysteries, each character harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. When someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect. Returning to the franchise he began, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson writes and directs Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and assembles another all-star cast that includes a returning Daniel Craig alongside Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery drops on Netflix on December 23.
