throat slit. The police are convinced that Harlan's death is a
suicide, but an anonymous party pays private detective Benoit Country United States
Blanc to investigate. Language English
[4]
Blanc learns that Harlan's relationships with his family had Budget $40 million
become strained: he threatened to expose his son-in-law Richard Box office $311.5 million[5][6]
for cheating on his wife Linda, cut off his daughter-in-law Joni's
allowance for stealing from him, fired his younger son Walt from his publishing company, and had an
altercation with his black sheep grandson Ransom.

Unknown to Blanc, after the party, Harlan's nurse, Marta Cabrera, accidentally administered him an
overdose of morphine instead of his usual medication and could not find the antidote, leaving Harlan
minutes to live. To protect Marta, Harlan gave her instructions to create a false alibi to avoid suspicion over
his death; he then slit his own throat. Marta carried out Harlan's instructions, but Harlan's elderly mother
saw her and mistook her for Ransom.

Marta cannot lie without vomiting, so she gives true but incomplete answers when Blanc questions her.
Blanc asks her to assist his investigation. As they search the property, Marta attempts to conceal evidence.

Harlan's will is read: he left everything to Marta, to her astonishment as well as the family's. They turn on
her, but Ransom helps her escape. Ransom persuades Marta to confess to him and offers to help her in
exchange for his share of the inheritance. The other Thrombeys try to persuade Marta to renounce her
inheritance; Walt threatens to expose her mother as an undocumented immigrant.

Marta receives an anonymous blackmail note with a partial photocopy of Harlan's toxicology report. She
and Ransom drive to the medical examiner's office, but it has been destroyed in a fire. Marta receives an
anonymous email with a time and address to meet the blackmailer. Blanc and the police, also investigating
the destroyed medical examiner's office, spot Marta and Ransom. After a brief car chase, the police arrest
Ransom; Blanc explains to Marta that Harlan's mother saw Ransom climbing down from Harlan's room on
the night of his death.

Marta goes to the address in the email and discovers Fran drugged, along with her missing medical case.
Marta hesitates, realizing that Fran can link her to the crime, but performs CPR on Fran and calls 911. Marta
confesses to Blanc, but Ransom has already informed on her. At the house, Marta finds a copy of the full
toxicology report hidden in Fran's cannabis stash. Marta is about to confess to the family that she caused
Harlan's death, but Blanc interrupts her after reading the report.

Blanc reveals his deductions to Marta, Ransom, and the police: After Ransom learned at the party that
Harlan was leaving everything to Marta, he swapped the contents of Marta's medication vials and stole the
antidote so she would kill Harlan with an overdose of morphine, making her ineligible to claim the
inheritance by the slayer rule. However, Marta actually administered the correct medicine without reading
the labels, recognizing it by the weight and viscosity of the fluid, and is therefore innocent of Harlan's death.
After the death was reported as a suicide, Ransom anonymously hired Blanc to discover Marta's guilt. Fran
later saw Ransom stealing Marta's medical case to hide the fact that the contents of the vials had been
switched, and sent him the blackmail note. Realizing that Marta had unknowingly given Harlan the correct
medication, Ransom forwarded the blackmail note to Marta. He burned down the medical examiner's office
to destroy evidence of Marta's innocence. Finally, he drugged Fran with an overdose of morphine and
emailed her location to Marta, planning to frame Marta for Fran's murder.

Marta tricks Ransom into confessing by lying that Fran has survived and will implicate him; after he
confesses and vows revenge, she vomits on him, revealing the lie. Enraged, he attacks her with a knife but
discovers it is a retractable stage knife. The police have recorded Ransom's confession, and he is taken into
custody as Marta watches the Thrombeys depart from what is now her mansion.

Production

Development

After making the 2005 film Brick, writer and director Rian Johnson came up with the basic concept for
Knives Out.[8] In June 2010, he expressed interest in making an Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery
film. He told The Independent that he wanted to make the film after finishing Looper (2012).[9] However,
Johnson's next film project became Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017).[10] Johnson spent seven months writing
the script after finishing his press tour for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.[11]
In developing the film, Johnson cited several classic mystery
thrillers and mystery comedies as influences, including The Last of
Sheila, Murder on the Orient Express, Something's Afoot, Murder by
Death, Death on the Nile, The Private Eyes, The Mirror Crack'd,
Evil Under the Sun, Deathtrap, Clue, and Gosford Park.[12] The
1972 version of Sleuth, a favorite "whodunit adjacent" of Johnson's,
was also an inspiration, particularly for the setting and set design,
including the automata, Jolly Jack the Sailor.[13][14][15] The title was
taken from the 2001 Radiohead song "Knives Out"; Johnson, a Several scenes are set in Maynard,
Radiohead fan, said: "Obviously, the movie has nothing to do with Massachusetts. The car chase scene
the song ... That turn of phrase has always stuck in my head. And it goes through the Assabet Woolen
just seemed like a great title for a murder mystery."[16] The name Mill (pictured), now known as Mill &
Harlan Thrombey is taken from a 1981 Choose Your Own Adventure Main.
whodunit, Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?[17]

Knives Out was announced in September 2018, with Daniel Craig starring. It was sold to distributors during
the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.[18] In October 2018, Chris Evans, Lakeith Stanfield, Michael
Shannon, Ana de Armas, Don Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Toni Collette joined the
cast.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In November 2018, Christopher Plummer, Jaeden Martell, Katherine Langford,
Riki Lindhome, and Edi Patterson joined the cast.[26][27][28] Frequent Johnson collaborator Noah Segan was
announced as being in the film in December.[29][30] In March 2019, Frank Oz, who previously worked with
Johnson in The Last Jedi, revealed that he would be appearing in a small role.[31] M. Emmet Walsh was cast
in the film to replace Ricky Jay, who had died during production.[32]

Filming

Principal photography began on October 30, 2018, in Boston, Massachusetts and wrapped on December 20,
2018.[33][34][35] Filming locations included Easton, Marlborough, Natick, Wellesley, Maynard, Waltham,
and Medfield, Massachusetts.[36][37][38][39][40] The exteriors of the house were filmed at a mansion located
in Natick, about 17 miles west of Boston.[41] The Ames Mansion in Borderland State Park, Massachusetts,
was used for many interior shots.[42][41]

Music

Nathan Johnson composed the film score. He previously worked with director Rian Johnson, who is his
cousin, on Brick, The Brothers Bloom, and Looper. The soundtrack was released on November 27, 2019,
coinciding with the film's release, by Cut Narrative Records.[43]

Release
Knives Out had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2019.[44] It
was theatrically released on November 27, 2019, by Lionsgate.[45] Director Rian Johnson released an "in-
theater" audio commentary for those watching the film a second time.[46]

Home media

Knives Out was released on Digital HD on February 7, 2020 and on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K on February
25.[47]
Reception

Box office

As of March 20, 2020, Knives Out has grossed $165.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $147.5
million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $312.9 million.[5][6]

In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Queen & Slim, and was initially projected
to gross $22–25 million from 3,391 theaters over its five-day opening weekend.[48] The film held advance
screenings on November 22 and 23, making $2 million from 936 theaters.[49] It then made $8.5 million
(including the $2 million from the screenings and $1.7 million from Tuesday night previews) and $6.8
million on Thanksgiving Day, increasing estimates to $44 million. It went on to gross $27.2 million in its
opening weekend (a five-day total of $41.7 million), finishing second behind Frozen II.[50] In its second and
third weekends the film made $14.2 million and $9.3 million, remaining in second then finishing
third.[51][52] The film made $6.5 million in its fourth weekend and then $9.7 million in its fifth (and a total
of $16.6 million over the five-day Christmas frame).[53][54]

Critical response

On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97% based on 420
reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's critics' consensus reads: "Knives Out sharpens old
murder-mystery tropes with a keenly assembled suspense outing that makes brilliant use of writer-director
Rian Johnson's stellar ensemble."[55] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of
82 out of 100, based on reviews from 52 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[56] Audiences polled by
CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an
average 4.5 out of 5 stars, with 67% saying they would definitely recommend it.[50]

David Rooney, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, described the film as an "ingeniously plotted,
tremendously entertaining and deviously irreverent crowd-pleaser" and "a treat from start to finish," praising
the film's script, the throwbacks to the murder mysteries of the 1970s, and the actors' performances.[57] Dana
Stevens of Slate wrote "Knives Out knows exactly what kind of movie it is: a sendup of twisty murder
mysteries with all-star ensemble casts that also loves and respects that silly tradition."[58] For The A.V. Club,
A. A. Dowd called the film "madly entertaining" and "an ingenious sleight-of-hand crowdpleaser".[59]
David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film an A−, writing "Johnson has devised a murder-mystery that's eager
to defy your expectations, but unwilling to betray your trust. The film may be more smart than stylish, and it
may opt for a reasonable outcome over an overwhelmingly shocking one, but Knives Out doesn't let the
element of surprise ruin a good story."[60] David Sims of The Atlantic wrote that Johnson "turned the
whodunit on its head".[61] Dani di Placido of Forbes wrote that Johnson "finds a way to revitalise the
concept" and "makes murder mystery great again".[62]

It was chosen by the American Film Institute, the National Board of Review, and Time magazine[63] as one
of the top ten films of 2019 in each respective list.[64] Director Edgar Wright also stated that Knives Out was
his favorite film of the year and that it is "fiendishly plotted".[65]

Political themes

Andrew R. Chow, writing for Time, described the film as "one of the most unexpectedly subversive films of
the year." Ram Bergman, the co-producer of Knives Out and Johnson’s longtime collaborator, says that the
sociopolitical elements of the film were essential from its infancy. The Latina heroine of the movie, de
Armas, saw the film as a major studio release that stars a Latina and condemns entrenched aspects of
American society.[66] Carlos Aguilar, writing for Remezcla, said the Thrombey family had a "racist
worldview", contrasted by the almost supernatural purity of the Latina heroine as "From the flames of greed,
de Armas’ Marta emerges as a heroine for all immigrants and their children whose most inalienable
superpower comes from empathy, civility, resilience and the utmost value for human life. Kindness is
exalted, not denigrated."[67] Graham Hillard, writing for National Review, states that the movie "revels in
the alleged moral superiority of the “oppressed” and dares its audience to object." He points out that, "The
question of who will possess a house becomes a metaphor for who will possess a nation." He says of the
ending that, "Anyone who doubts that Knives Out is, and means to be, a commentary on the future of race
dynamics in this country need only examine the movie’s intensely political concluding shot, in which
Harlan’s family is cast from the manse and left to dwell in the outer darkness."[68]

Sequel
Before the release of Knives Out, Johnson said he would like to create sequels with Benoit Blanc
investigating further mysteries, and already had an idea for a new film.[84] In January 2020, Johnson
confirmed that he was writing a sequel, intended to focus on Blanc investigating a new mystery. Craig is
expected to reprise his role, and acknowledged interest in the project.[85] On February 6, 2020, Lionsgate
announced that a sequel had been greenlit.[7]
