With the limited, 600-screen theatrical run of “Glass Onion” now in the rearview, Rian Johnson would like to see the film come back so audiences can continue to experience the latest Benoit Blanc mystery on the big screen. The director recently opened up about this and confirmed that he is working with Netflix to try and push for as many theaters as possible (via Insider). Johnson said, “Any theaters we can get it into at any point I’m pushing for. I want more people to have the opportunity to be able to watch it.”

However, despite Johnson’s enthusiasm for getting “Glass Onion” back into theaters, he does know that there are some limitations to what can be done. Mainly, it won’t come back to theaters until (at least) the film drops on Netflix on December 23, at which point Netflix and theater chains will have to come to an agreement in terms of how to show the movie. Elsewhere in his remarks, Johnson explained, “Once it’s on the service it will be available to theaters and we’re exploring what form that can take. “I’ll take as much as I can possibly get. But a lot of that has to do with what the theaters are willing to do, what makes sense.”
