Netflix Plans Broad Theatrical Release for KPop Demon Hunters Sequel in 2029
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos announced that the sequel to the animated film KPop Demon Hunters will receive a broad theatrical release in 2029 before its streaming debut. This marks a shift in Netflix's strategy toward prioritizing theatrical runs for major titles, following the original film's success with over 325 million views and a profitable limited theater release. Netflix also plans wide theatrical releases for other films like Greta Gerwig's Narnia and Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory in the coming years.
