I went to a theater to see Glass Onion last night. The 7:10 screening was
probably half full, which I consider strong for a Tuesday in the first week of
an under-advertised film.
As for the film, I think if you enjoyed Knives Out that you will likely enjoy
Glass Onion. I can understand why people are thinking that Netflix is leaving
money on the table with the theatrical screening strategy.

"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" ended its one-week "sneak preview" run in
600 theaters yesterday--Netflix, more concerned about the home viewers who will
watch it starting Dec. 23, did not report box office receipts but many experts
believe that it will come in third for Thanksgiving weekend after "Black
Panther 2" ($64M) and Disney's cartoon "Strange World" ($18.6M, considered a
flop based on budget and has already been announced as going on Disney+ during
the holidays) with $13M and could've made $45-50M if given a wide release (for
comparison, Spielberg's "The Fabelmans" only pulled $3.1M from roughly the same
number of screens and is supposedly going to VOD next week and probably to
Peacock in time for Oscar season):

I have heard somewhere that Netflix will reissue "Knives Out 2" to theaters on
Christmas weekend.
