"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" kept the box-office crown for the fourth straight weekend, and the comic holiday thriller "Violent Night" debuted with $13.3 million (Sh1.6billion), according to studio estimates Sunday. But the biggest talking point on the weekend was a movie conspicuously absent from theaters.
Had Netflix kept Rian Johnson's whodunit sequel "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" in theaters, it would have been one of the weekend's top draws. Last weekend, the streamer - in its first such pact with North America's top chains - released "Glass Onion" in about 600 theaters. While significantly less than the 4,000-plus theaters biggest movies open in, the Netflix film reportedly grossed about $15 million - an enviable total for a medium scaled release.
