AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. said it has reached a
first-of-its-kind deal with Netflix Inc. to show the sequel to the
popular "Knives Out" mystery movie in theaters ahead of its release
on the streaming platform.
The Netflix film, "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," will air
at more than 200 of AMC's U.S. locations from Nov. 23 to Nov. 29,
ahead of its December release on Netflix. It will also play at
select Odeon Cinema Group theaters in the UK, Ireland, Italy,
Germany and Spain, AMC said.
"We believe that both theatrical exhibitors and streamers can
continue to co-exist successfully," AMC Chief Executive Adam Aron
said.
The company didn't share the financial terms of the deal, but
Mr. Aron said the terms of the agreement are "acceptable to AMC as
it sufficiently respects the sanctity of our current theatrical
window policy."
"We are hopeful that a successful screening in our theatres this
Thanksgiving will lead to more co-operation between Netflix and AMC
in the months and years ahead," he said.
