“Kpop Demon Hunters 2” seems more likely

From Kpop demon hunters was released in June and took the world to assault, the fans are more likely. Netflix would certainly like, given the performance of this film, but it seems that it is a question of whether the stars will line up for it and Sony to make a sequel together.

In a recent story by Matt Belloni from Puck, he presents some of the film’s finances, namely that he cost Sony more than $ 100 million to produce, and only about 20 million dollars go to the studio, even with the brief theatrical race of the film. (He can also publish the film in China, if the government would authorize it.) Sources told the journalist that the agreement between the studio and the streamer allows Sony to do more Kpop Films, and he is already entering negotiations with the co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Applehans. Netflix is not obliged to renegotiate, so if that happened, the rest could be bought elsewhere or come on the big screen.

Why did Sony not just released Kpop demon hunters In theaters itself? According to Belloni, he concluded two agreements with Netflix in 2021: One Deal, a “direct to the platform” arrangement, made so that the streamer could green and publish a minimum number of Sony films for animation and live action, and Sony would be paid for a bonus of $ 20 million in addition to the individual budget of each film.

With all this presented, this is a question of what will happen with Kpop Demon Hunters 2, in terms of distribution. The people of the industry told Belloni that they doubted that the first film would have taken off like that if he came in theaters first, largely because the original animated films had a tough theaters, and Kpop He himself has constantly accumulated a momentum over time. But the aversion of Netflix for theatrical versions has just result Foreign things The creators Matt and Ross Duffer going to Paramount, and Sony knows how to market and distribute films for the big screen. That Netflix arrives for the journey, it will probably not take long before we hear Huntr / X again.
