Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery spoilers follow.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery has become one of Netflix’s most successful movies ever, cracking the streamer’s top-five of all time.
The murder mystery sequel, which sees Daniel Craig return as detective Benoit Blanc following his debut in 2019’s Knives Out, debuted last month on the platform.
The film had already become one of its biggest ever, but it’s now been confirmed that it has soared even higher, currently sitting at the number five slot with 253,720,000 hours viewed in the first month.

It sits slightly behind The Gray Man at number four, Bird Box at number three, Don’t Look Up at number two, and Red Notice in the top spot.
Since the movie debuted, the movie’s director Rian Johnson and various cast members have addressed the most-talked twists and turns of the movie.
Among them is an unexpected cameo from Hugh Grant as Blanc’s husband Phillip, Johnson admitting that the idea of including the star brought him “joy”.

“They’re a couple. His name is Phillip. I just basically thought who would it give me the most joy for Benoit Blanc to be with, and I thought Hugh Grant,” he told Empire Magazine’s Spoiler Special podcast.
“He was such a joy to be with, he came to set for one day, did that one disconnected scene, and trusted us to put it in the movie.”
The director added: “I also love that he’s home baking, trying to make sourdough bread. I don’t know if I see him as the Watson to Blanc’s Sherlock, but it’s good to have separate things. Plus, that apartment is so nice. I can’t imagine Blanc can afford it, so I think [Phillip] has a real job.”
Knives Out is available to rent or buy on DVD, Blu-ray or as a digital download – and its sequel Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is out now on Netflix.
