'KPop Demon Hunters' sing-along event races toward selling out as it hits 1,700 screens
"KPop Demon Hunters," the runaway Netflix hit of the summer, is making the rare jump from streaming to theaters. The film follows three animated K-pop stars as they perform synthy earworms and hide their true demon-slayer identities from fans, and has become the streaming giant's second most-watched movie of all time. To celebrate, Netflix is offering up the film for theatrical viewing during a two-day sing-along event Aug. 23-24. "Demon Hunters" will appear on approximately 1,700 screens across the U.S. and Canada, with over 1,000 of the shows already sold out. Cinemark, among the movie houses offering the screenings, still has seats available, but confirmed that some of their showings were "very full." Grounding the film's success is a growing fascination with the K-pop (Korean pop) genre. As streaming services like Spotify hack the artificial barriers separating one culture's hits from another's, American music fans are growing increasingly eager to dabble in international fare. K-pop, which claims a large and loyal fanbase in the U.S., slots into a burgeoning trend alongside genres like Reggaeton and Afrobeats. "Demon Hunters" creates a fictional girl group not unlike Blackpink, the multi-member hit-making machine that helped fuel America's K-pop fever. As they work to hunt demons, they're pitted against a similarly popular boy group, not unlike BTS, or the other synchronized dancing collectives that are a hallmark of the genre. The cast includes stars like Ken Jeong and Daniel Dae Kim, and the music, a success in its own right, has been steadily climbing up the charts as the film hops borders. Earlier this month, "Golden," performed by the cast, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. For a film industry hungry for a new formula for success, "Demon Hunters" may offer a telling clue to what viewers are searching for − whether from their AMC recliner, or the one in their living room.

Apple TV+ hikes subscription for third time in three years
Apple is taking a cue from some of its competitors. The technology giant's Apple TV+ monthly subscription is now $12.99, starting Thursday in the U.S. and other countries. Apple said the new price will hit current subscribers 30 days after their next renewal date. The annual subscription price will not change. For new subscribers, the $12.99 monthly price begins after a 7-day trial period. The change marks Apple's first price hike for its streaming service since 2023. At the time, Apple lifted its monthly price to about $9.99 from $6.99. The company raised the price in 2022 from $4.99. Apple TV+ is one of the company's most popular services, but Apple does not release viewership numbers. A report from The Information earlier this year said the streaming service is losing more than $1 billion annually as subscriptions rocketed to 45 million, citing people familiar with the matter. Apple isn't the only streaming company hiking prices this year to either fund new content or reap returns on their investments. Earlier this year, both Netflix and NBCUniversal's Peacock boosted prices. Music streaming platform Spotify also raised prices in multiple markets. Earlier this year, Apple introduced its streaming service to Android phones in a move that could open the company to more people worldwide. The company is fresh off the release of its highest-grossing theatrical film, "F1: The Movie."

When is Weak Hero Class Season 3 releasing? Cast, plot and everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 21, 2025, 20:06 IST Fans of Weak Hero Class can't stop buzzing about the possibility of a third season after the explosive finale of Season 2. The gritty South Korean drama, based on the popular 2018 Naver webtoon by Seopass and Kim Jin-seok, has hooked audiences with its raw take on bullying, friendship, and survival. With Yeon Si-eun's journey at Eunjang High leaving viewers on edge, here's the latest scoop on Weak Hero Class Season 3 —from release date speculation to cast updates and potential plot twists. Weak Hero Class Season 3 Potential Release Date Alright, real talk: Netflix hasn't officially said 'yep, Season 3's happening' yet. Bummer, right? But hold up—Season 2, which hit screens on April 25, 2025, was a straight-up banger, topping Netflix's non-English TV chart in South Korea and making waves globally. Fans are basically begging for more, so there's hope. Rewind to Season 2's timeline: Netflix gave the green light in December 2023, filming wrapped by June 2024, and it dropped in April 2025. That's, like, a 16-month wait from announcement to premiere. If Season 3 gets the go-ahead by the end of 2025, we're probably looking at late 2026 or early 2027. Director Yoo Su-min was dropping hints at a cast event in May 2025, saying there's 'still plenty of story to tell' if fans keep the love alive. On X, some folks are hyped for a 2026 release, but others are like, 'Nah, it'll take forever with all the production stuff.' No official date yet, but that Season 2 cliffhanger? It's got us all itching for answers. Weak Hero Class Season 3 Expected Cast The Weak Hero Class squad is what makes this show pop off, and Season 3 would probably bring back the main players. Here's the scoop on who's likely returning, based on how Season 2 left things: Park Ji-hoon as Yeon Si-eun Choi Hyun-wook as Ahn Su-ho Ryeo-un as Park Hu-min (Baku) Choi Min-yeong as Seo Jun-tae Lee Min-jae as Go Hyun-tak Lee Jun-young as Geum Seong-je Jo Jung-suk as Choi Chang-hee Season 2 had Bae Na-ra as Na Baek-jin, but since he's, uh, super dead (or is he?), don't expect him back. Though some fans on Reddit are throwing around wild theories about a fake-out death. Also, new faces could pop up, especially with that gangster vibe Season 2 teased. Weak Hero Class Season 3 Potential Plot Season 2 wrapped up the main webtoon story, with Si-eun and his Eunjang homies taking down the Union in a fight that had us all hyped. But that ending? Oof. Baek-jin's death and that sketchy mid-credits scene opened a whole new can of worms. Since the show's caught up with the webtoon, Season 3's probably going off-script, kinda like Squid Game did when it went beyond its source. Here's what's likely cooking, based on Season 2's finale and some cast chatter: Si-eun Going Rogue : Park Ji-hoon's been hyping up a darker Si-eun, maybe losing his chill after everything he's lost. Picture him clashing with his own crew or going full anti-hero against new enemies. Su-ho's Big Comeback : Su-ho's awake, and that reunion with Si-eun's got fans buzzing. X posts are calling for a Su-ho and Baku bromance, but some think he might butt heads with Si-eun's new allies. New Bad Guys : That post-credits scene with Choi Chang-hee offering Seong-je the Union's throne? Juicy. Seong-je said no, but he's unpredictable, so he might flip sides. Choi's Cheongang gang could pull Si-eun into some gritty crime drama, way beyond high school fights. Baek-jin's Death Drama : Season 2 hinted Choi had something to do with Baek-jin's death, unlike the webtoon's car crash story. Season 3 might dive into that mystery, with Baku maybe hunting for the truth. Eunjang's Last Hurrah: With the Union gone, Season 3 could focus on Si-eun's final year at Eunjang, dealing with his past and maybe even graduating. Some fans on Reddit are betting on a time jump to shake things up. Webtoon fans were kinda salty about Season 2 skipping some arcs, but others are stoked for a fresh story. One X post was like, 'Si-eun vs. a gangster like Choi? Take my money!' Expect more of those insane fight scenes and deep feels about bullying and loyalty.
