🗞️Detectives! Need a new case? "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" will be playing at Cinema Salem 11/28-12/1! This is the 3rd 'Knives Out' film staring Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) and directed by Rian Johnson. These movies are known for having everything we love in a mystery: tons of celebrities and plot twists! This film will only be in theaters for 2 weeks. It was produced by Netflix so it will be streaming 12/12. Don't miss your very small chance to see it on the big screen!

P.S.

If you haven't see it, also check out the original Knives Out (2019) It's not a pre-requisite, it's just fun because it was filmed 1hr away in Natick and Medford, MA!
