For the first time, a Netflix movie is getting a one-week theatrical sneak preview event across 600 AMC, Regal and Cinemark theaters in the U.S. The historic deal marks the first time all three major theater chains have agreed to show a big-budget Netflix movie.

Viewers will get a chance to watch “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” the “Knives Out” sequel, in theaters during Thanksgiving weekend, November 23 to 29, exactly one month before Netflix releases the film to its platform on December 23. Tickets go on sale Monday, October 10.

The streaming giant also announced yesterday that the film would play in select theaters across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.

Netflix acquired the rights to “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “Knives Out 3” for a reported $450 million. The streamer is likely hoping the theatrical release will bring new subscribers to the streamer who want to watch the film in their homes. Over the summer, the company experienced a loss of nearly one million subscribers.

Adam Aron, AMC Chairman, and CEO said in a statement, “This announcement of our first-ever agreement with Netflix is significant for AMC and for movie lovers around the world. As we have often said, we believe that both theatrical exhibitors and streamers can continue to co-exist successfully … thanks to the larger cultural resonance those movies can gain from a theatrical release, they will wind up playing to a wider audience when they also are viewed on streaming platforms.”

Previously, AMC, Regal and Cinemark boycotted Netflix movies. In 2014, the three theater chains refused to show Netflix’s first original film, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend” because the companies were unwilling to show a movie that would simultaneously stream to users in their homes.

Also, in 2019, AMC and Regal declined to show Netflix’s “Roma” in theaters, which was the first Netflix film to be nominated for best picture. The following year, Netflix’s best picture nominees, “The Irishman” and “Marriage Story,” were also not shown at AMC or Regal.

Now, it appears that AMC, Regal and Cinemark have turned over a new leaf, most likely due to the continued success of Netflix films. Netflix earned seven wins during last year’s Oscars.

“Knives Out” was a box office hit when it hit theaters in 2019, earning $311.6 million worldwide on a $40 million budget. So, we imagine the sequel will perform well in theaters.

“Glass Onion” will see the return of detective Benoit Blanc — played by Daniel Craig — who has to solve a murder during a trip to a private Greek island owned by tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). Other stars include Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Ethan Hawke and Leslie Odom, Jr.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Julia closed in on Nicaragua's central Caribbean coast late Saturday after lashing Colombia's San Andres island in a near pass soon after strengthening from a tropical storm in the afternoon. After gaining power throughout the day, Julia's maximum sustained winds had stabilized around 75 mph (120 kph) late Saturday, just over the threshold for a Category 1 hurricane, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was centered about 80 miles (130 kilometers) east-

Canada's minister of sport says Hockey Canada must continue to transition to a new leadership team. Pascale St-Onge issued the statement on Sunday, a day after Andrea Skinner resigned as the interim chair of Hockey Canada's board of directors. The national sport organization continues to draw widespread criticism for its handling of an alleged group sexual assault involving members of the 2018 men's national junior team, and how it has paid out settlements in lawsuits.

MILAN (AP) — Udinese never gives up. The latest example of its fighting spirit saw it recover from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Serie A leader Atalanta on Sunday. Nehuén Pérez and Gerard Deulofeu cancelled out goals from Ademola Lookman and Luis Muriel to allow Udinese to rescue a point and move level with defending champion AC Milan and Napoli in the Serie A table, a point behind Atalanta. Napoli was playing at lowly Cremonese later. Udinese had won its past six matches and four of those

CHARLOTTETOWN — A fire inspector on Prince Edward Island is warning of carbon monoxide dangers as residents use generators to keep warm on their 17th-straight day without power. Charlottetown Fire Inspector Winston Bryan says his team has responded to about 284 calls for assistance since post-tropical storm Fiona tore past the province on Sept. 24, knocking down trees and power lines across the Island. He said in an interview that about 25 per cent of those calls were for carbon monoxide alarms,

OTTAWA — To flush or not to flush? It is a question Canada's Competition Bureau says it cannot answer. Three years ago, Friends of the Earth Canada and lawyers from Ecojustice filed a grievance with the bureau saying the makers of 20 disposable wipes were falsely advertising the products as safe to flush down the toilet. In February, the Competition Bureau informed Friends in a letter that it was closing its inquiry because it's not clear what it really means to be "flushable." "There are a numb

TEJERIAS (Reuters) -At least 25 people died and 52 were missing after five small rivers in central Venezuela flooded due to heavy rains, Citizen Security Vice President Remigio Ceballos said Sunday evening in a televised address. The downpour on Saturday night swept large tree trunks and debris from surrounding mountains into the community of Tejerias, 40 miles (67 kilometers) southwest of Caracas, damaging businesses and farmland, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said earlier in the day. Rodriguez said that a month's worth of rain had fallen in just eight hours and pumps used to power the community's drinking water system were carried away in the flood waters.

The day was aimed at promoting the practice of sport among people with disabilities.View on euronews

More Ontario municipalities are using online voting in this month's municipal elections than in 2018, despite the absence of provincial standards on how to conduct it. The province's Municipal Elections Act allows municipalities to opt to use alternative methods to voting at the polls -- such as online, telephone and mail-in ballots -- if a council passes a bylaw. Municipal clerks are then responsible for establishing the procedures. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario says there will b

A group of French intellectuals including Nobel literature prize winner Annie Ernaux on Sunday urged people to join protests planned by the left for next week, accusing President Emmanuel Macron of not doing enough to help the poor cope with high prices while some companies make windfall profits. "Emmanuel Macron is using inflation to widen the wealth gap, to boost capital income at the expense of the rest", the group of 69 signatories, including writers, film directors and university teachers, said in a text published in the Journal Du Dimanche. "It is all a matter of political will", said the text, co-signed by Ernaux, who on Thursday became the first French woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The MSCI global index of stocks lost ground on Monday while the dollar gained slightly as investors waited for economic data and earnings season and after Russian missiles pounded cities across Ukraine. Any lingering hopes that the Federal Reserve could shift to a softer stance toward monetary policy appeared to be extinguished on Friday as the September jobs report pointed to a persistently tight labour market. The dollar held steady against a basket of currencies, while a number of market-based measures of investor risk nervousness showed another increase.
