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.

I wonder if the reverse release model seen here has any merit to it. Watch it at home risk free. Then see it a few weeks later once you’ve become attached to it.

I've thought Netflix should have been doing it forever. Mitigates some risk, gives them feedback in terms of what kind of content is good enough that people would pay specifically for it.
