Knives Out is a fresh, modern take on the whodunit genre, and its pop culture impact compared to the recent Hercule Poirot movies is telling.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Knives Out is one of the most successful, recent movie franchises, and its take on the "whodunit" genre is beating the establishing Hercule Poirot IP in terms of pop culture impact. Each of Rian Johnson's Knives Out movies tells the story of a different case solved by Benoit Blanc, the southern detective known around the world for his crime-solving capabilities and unusual methods.
Knives Out’s Success Was A Boost For Original Stories The newest Poirot movies are some of many Agatha Christie movie adaptations. This includes 2017's Murder on The Orient Express, whose success would lead to two more films. However, A Haunting in Venice was not a box office hit, and part of this can be attributed to the use of the same stories and tropes repeatedly.
