Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In March 2021 Netflix outbid Amazon and Apple at an auction, paying $469 million for Glass Onion and another Knives Out sequel, with at least $40 million budgeted for each; Rian Johnson, Daniel Craig and producer Ram Bergman reportedly made over $100 million for the two films.
- Glass Onion's one-week theatrical release in roughly 600 American theaters in November 2022 marked the first time a Netflix-distributed film was shown in all three major US chains: AMC, Regal and Cinemark.
- Rian Johnson discovered the Amanzoe's Villa 20 in Porto Heli and used it as a major Glass Onion location; it also housed the cast and their families for most of the shoot, which Johnson called a summer vacation where they also made a movie.
- Rian Johnson wanted Glass Onion's title to hint at something hidden in plain sight, chose "glass" because it is clear, then searched his phone for songs with the word and settled on the Beatles' "Glass Onion", which plays over the end credits.
