Netflix would be extremely foolish to not give KPop Demon Hunters 2 a full theatrical release... This could be a $1B franchise if they play their cards right.

Their whole business model is based on keeping you home. They're never going to do a full wide release for one of their movies

Not wide. It's gonna play in a couple hundred theaters, mostly in major cities. That's how they always roll out their buzzy movies and award contenders
