The first “Knives Out” was produced by Media Rights Capital, which sold the movie to Netflix. It was distributed by Lionsgate, going on to earn $311.4 million on a $40 million budget. Johnson was nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay.
Craig will reprise his role as private detective Benoit Blanc. The films give Craig a new series to segue into as he wraps up his five-film stint as James Bond with “No Time to Die,” which will open in theaters this fall after numerous delays due to COVID-19.
To be directed by Colin Trevorrow, who will be replaced by J J Abrams
The twist is the sequels will suck.
outstanding.
What about Live Free or Knives Out? Are rights still available?
April Fools? Please say you hit “post” 2 hours early

Terrible news.
The first one made 300 million globally. Take away production costs and advertising this is a deal that makes little sense.
Can't wait!
Why? KnivesOut was awful. I stopped watching at 30 mins. What a waste of a great cast.
This is huge but at the same time makes me nervous lol
Great film tbf
Craig doing 5 Bond films in 15 years but squeezing in 3 Benoit Blanc stints in 6 🤷♂️ Monthly subscriptions and tons of competition make Netflix work hard!
Seems like a waste to me
They know they can just make a Mystery movie right?
Go get it Netflix !! Yass
W
neato, maybe they could also buy No Time To Die as well and finally release that damn movie...
Netflix better bring both Knives Out 2 & Knives Out 3 to theaters!
Netflix right now.
There goes the joy of watching a murder mystery in theatres. I saw Knives Out in theatres and it was just great. That spark and excitement is now gone.
Unclear -- did they buy from MRC, LGF, FilmNation?
How do they make their money? They surely don’t get this back in new subs ?
Director?
FORKS OUT first, then SPOONS OUT, because spoons hurt more.
That’s insane.
MasaSonCap what say you?
OMG and wbpictures can’t RestoretheSnyderVerse?
the irony of this film being celebrated as a successful, original, non-franchise film and it now being turned into a franchise that i’m already annoyed by is just too much
Hopefully its a costly gamble that fails 🤣
Whew, that’s a lot of money
Remember, these are sequels, so for 2 or 3 sequels this is a good deal
Chris Evan and the sweater please
Yes please 🙌
Huh? An *ok* movie with no superheroes (a plus!), but still... 450 million? For that? I'm going back to bartending.
Well congratulations rianjohnson! Good job netflix.
