RELEASE

The fast-paced murder mystery is slated to have a theatrical release on 23 October 2020. It remains to be seen whether most countries would have opened their theatres by then and with what restrictions. Though a popular novel with a huge fan base, it has taken its chances at the box office with a conventional release, given the coronavirus pandemic.
