What are we excited about streaming this weekend?
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) – Netflix

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Projected Audience Score: 88.
Why did Glass Onion receive a PAS of 88?
Streaming This Weekend evaluates trailers based on up to 30 questions and criteria to spot production value in movies. The score is not perfect. In fact, it likely speaks more to the quality of the trailer, which we believe could give us insight into the final film. Here’s an idea of the types of questions we ask of a trailer:
-
- Does most of the footage look like it’s from the 3rd act? This could indicate that there isn’t enough good film to put into a two minute trailer.
-
- Is the audio filled with replays of songs you’ve heard in other films? Are the sound effects old hat? This could indicate a weak score and low production budget.
-
- Are characters, animals, or objects used to point out something that should be interesting without assistance? This could mean the editors didn’t feel confident the shot would grab audiences.
We also incorporate trends from the players involved in the movie. How did the last director’s film do? What project did the writers and producers contribute to last? How were the performers received in their last film? All in all, we incorporate 30 data points or more into our evaluation of the trailer(s). Here are a few results we’ve put together with their final audience scores:
| Film | PAS | Actual Audience Score |
| Pinocchio | 91 | 84 |
| Emancipation | 79 | 81 |
| Something From Tiffany’s | 67 | 66 |
| Retrograde | 91 | 96 |
| Riches | 83 | 87 |
| The Volcano: Escape From Whakaari | 81 | 83 |
| About Fate | 72 | 72 |
| Nanny | 74 | 48 |
| The Recruit | 78 | 89 |
| Hot Skull | 85 | 79 |
And while the scoring system isn’t perfect, we’d like to identify whether there is enough in a trailer to capture the sentiment of the stakeholders involved, which could help us understand how audiences will receive it. *Under 50 verified reviews at this time. NS: No Score at this time.
