Rian Johnson's 2019 mystery-comedy Knives Out carved out $311 million at the box office on a budget of $40 million, making it the second-highest-grossing original movie of the year not based on existing IP. The sequel rights set off a bidding war between the top streamers, with Netflix beating Amazon and Apple with a $469 million offer. Released December 23rd, 2022, the follow-up saw the return of Daniel Craig's Southern sleuth Benoit Blanc, with another all-star cast of characters populating the film's Greek island setting. Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, and Dave Bautista round out the who's who in this whodunnit, which received a very limited theatrical release. Now Beef and Lobster are peeling back the layers of this streaming sequel. I suspect we'll press play!
