According to Deadline, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery broke the Nielsen streaming record in the US. During the film's first full week on Netflix from December 26 to January 1, it brought in 2.89 billion minutes. Previously, Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+ held the record with 2.73 billion minutes for its opening week.
