Benoit Blanc was not happy with how Netflix handled his sequel.⁣ ⁣ Reported by Puck last week, Blanc's actor Daniel Craig took issue with Netflix's rollout of the "Knives Out" follow-up film "Glass Onion," which was released in November 2022.⁣ ⁣ Unlike the first film in the series, "Glass Onion" was given a limited theatrical window in the form of a "sneak preview week" to churn up publicity before dropping on the streaming platform a month later.⁣ ⁣ The film ultimately only grossed $13 million in theaters, a far cry from the original "Knives Out" in 2019, which was given a full run in cinemas and grossed $312 million on a $40 million budget.⁣ ⁣ According to those at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, the movie received rousing applause after its premiere, which prompted Craig to give Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos an earful over the idea that the film was just getting a one-week window in theaters.⁣ ⁣ Sarandos repeatedly told Craig that a full theatrical rollout wasn't part of the Netflix model, to which Craig replied, "Your model is f*cked."⁣ ⁣ Despite the disagreement, Craig is lined up for another Benoit Blanc mystery, which will be released on Netflix next year. After the success of the 2019 film, Netflix paid $450 million to lock Craig up for two more Knives Out installments. Kinda tough to say no at that point.⁣ ⁣ 📸 : Getty⁣

Chipotle is going all in with the wordplay.⁣ ⁣ First the "autocado" to automate bowls and salads, and now the "Ava Cado" to streamline hiring. Chipotle is introducing a new AI hiring platform developed by Paradox to enhance its recruitment process across more than 3,500 restaurant locations.⁣ ⁣ The platform will use conversational AI to simplify tasks like collecting candidate information, scheduling interviews, and extending offers, reducing the time it takes to hire a new employee by up to 75%. The new tech is meant to support the company's broader growth strategy as it aims to expand to 7,000 restaurants in North America.⁣ ⁣ 📸: Getty

Goldfish is rebranding to a name that only makes a little sense.⁣ ⁣ In an effort to get your grown-up attention, the fish-shaped cheese cracker is doing the snack food equivalent of walking around in giant heels and rebranding as “Chilean Sea Bass.”⁣ ⁣ Don't worry though, Goldfish’s name change is only temporary and the new bags are only available online. The company isn’t even changing up the actual product, it just wants to be recognized as an adult snack.⁣ ⁣ The cracker, created in 1962, was originally released by Pepperidge Farm as a potential bar snack for adults, but is now recognized and marketed as a lunchbox-filling, post-nap, kids snack.⁣ ⁣ But Pepperidge Farms, owned by Campbell’s, has spent the last few years trying to attract more adult snackers by releasing spicier and bolder flavors with Old Bay seasoning and Frank’s RedHot sauce.⁣ ⁣ 📸 : Pepperidge Farm⁣
