KPop Demon Hunters 2 is trying an increasing number of doubtless after the primary film, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, shattered Netflix data. Simply as the primary movie turned Netflix’s most-watched film of all time, information has damaged that implies a followup might not be too distant.
KPop Demon Hunters is a PG-rated motion musical that sees Ok-pop stars Mira, Zoey, and Rumi stomping out supernatural risks in addition to their competitors on the Billboard charts. With actual Ok-pop teams like BTS and BLACKPINK dominating international music markets, the film tapped into the zeitgeist and had the appropriate mixture of music and motion to maintain audiences engaged.
Now, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Sony and Netflix are in talks to make a sequel to the smash hit. The information follows continued work to extend the presence and energy of KPop Demon Hunters comparable to Netflix’s launch of a sing-along model of the movie in choose theaters.
What This Means For KPop Demon Hunters
The truth that Sony and Netflix are already in talks to supply a KPop Demon Hunters 2 makes it clear that each studios are desirous to capitalize on the success of the primary movie.
Whereas every firm’s targets for the deal are unknown, it stands to cause that Sony and Netflix will try to succeed in an settlement and proceed the KPop Demon Hunters story as rapidly as doable with a view to strike whereas the proverbial iron is sizzling.
In fact, what this information doesn’t imply is that the sequel is completely occurring simply but. The Hollywood Reporter quoted a supply saying that “it was definitely a mistake” for Sony to move the movie’s distribution rights to Netflix slightly than spend the cash on selling a theatrical run.
If true, this might see Sony desirous to battle for sure deal factors with a view to rectify what they see as an error. That, in flip, may lengthen the negotiation course of and the timeline of a sequel.
Our Take On KPop Demon Hunters 2
ScreenRant’s KPop Demon Hunters assessment lauded the film’s mix of genres, sturdy songs, and fascinating story, and the film’s 97% critic rating and 99% viewers rating on Rotten Tomatoes recommend that others really feel the identical. To me, which means a sequel is completely occurring, even when it takes a second to iron out the main points.
I’m concerned with seeing if, due to the primary film’s success and Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters theatrical sing-along re-release, KPop Demon Hunters 2 has a large theatrical launch. It’s uncommon for Netflix to place any motion pictures in theaters, particularly in lots of theaters, however I may see Sony advocating for such a factor after lacking the boat the primary time round.
