"Like the rest of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man is full of extremely fun revelations - the kind that can turn the whodunit story on its head and, as was the case for many of those attending the film's premiere in Toronto, Canada, produce audible gasps. Those shared moments of surprise are part of what makes the movie such a great theatrical experience, so it sucks that most people won't get the opportunity to see it in a theater at all."
"Wake Up Dead Man isn't alone. Netflix was very present at the Toronto International Film Festival this year, with films like Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Edward Berger's Ballad of a Small Player, and Sundance darling Train Dreams. And while each of those movies will be heading to the big screen, they'll only be in select theaters for extremely short windows, the minimum necessary for awards eligibility."
Wake Up Dead Man contains revelations that produce audible gasps during premieres, creating shared moments that enhance the theatrical experience. Most people will not have the opportunity to see it in a theater. Netflix had a strong presence at the Toronto International Film Festival with Frankenstein, Ballad of a Small Player, and Train Dreams. Each of those films will appear in theaters only in select locations for very short runs intended to meet awards eligibility. Those limited theatrical windows concentrate screenings in cities like New York and Los Angeles. Most viewers outside those cities will need to wait for the films to arrive on Netflix.
