You can look at the success of numerous long running television mystery procedurals to see that, as well as true crime podcasts and the occasional big screen mystery we do get that gets good reviews like Gone Girl, Girl On A Train or now, Knives Out.
Maybe that’s true. Maybe it’s not.
Either way, I firmly believe people will show up and support a good mystery.
There’s a fear in Hollywood, whether warranted or not, that if people get spoiled on a movie, they’re less likely to pay to see it.
