‘KPop Demon Hunters' and ‘Expedition 33' Are Having a Moment
Have you watched KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix or played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Chances are the answer is 'yes,' and if not, you've certainly heard of them: both were released earlier this year to fairly glowing reviews (if not outright critical acclaim) and performed very well commercially. The latter, a turn-based RPG from newcomer Sandfall Interactive, will likely pick up some awards at year's end, while Netflix is planning to go all in on KPop. Along with talks of sequels and an ever-growing wave of merchandise, the streamer submitted the mid-movie song 'Golden' for Academy Award consideration. Both may also wind up jumping to live-action; Expedition had a movie announced months before the game's release, while Netflix is reportedly mulling over a remake with human actors. There's at least one movie, game, or show that becomes the talk of the town each year, but the way KPop and Expedition have been moving feels more significant than most. Both of them certainly build on the foundation set by their predecessors; musically, K-pop has been a popular genre for years, but it's possible general audiences didn't fully know just how much until now. Even if folks didn't watch KPop Demon Hunters, they've sure heard the music, which has risen in the charts in the weeks after release and beat real groups like BTS and Blackpink. (In a fun nod to the film, the two bands, Huntrix and the Saja Boys, became the highest-charting female and male K-pop groups for U.S. Spotify while competing against each other.) Several prominent artists in the genre have reacted to or covered the film's music, which has also become a viral sensation in Korea. Even before that point, viewers had KPop fever the moment the credits rolled and immediately demanded Netflix greenlight a sequel and shared their ideas for a TV spinoff. View this post on InstagramMeanwhile, Expedition 33 was built on the back of decades' worth of turn-based RPGs made in Japan, from heavy hitters like Final Fantasy and Persona to modern cult classics Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Whether you knew the influences or not, that didn't stop the game from feeling like a breath of fresh air (well, paint) at a time when the industry could've used some good news in between the next rounds of layoffs and cancellation-focused news. It's also a game that did its job too well: between bad faith actors and a general need to deify Sandfall for making a strong debut title, the RPG has become overwhelmed by discussions about what its success could and should mean for the industry—and, more pointedly, the ever-evolving Final Fantasy franchise, whose mainline installments have taken more of a real-time combat focus—that subsequently smothered any real talks about its mechanics or late-game narrative swerves. Sandfall's kept its head down and focused on updating the game (and probably its next project next), so it's hard to know how much of this has gone to their heads, for better and worse. For folks hoping for some originality, KPop Demon Hunters and Expedition 33 couldn't have come at a better time. The 2020s have seen franchises start to buckle under continuous sequels and expanded universe games, prompting many to go back to their old ways, if not reboot entirely. So many headlines have focused on what's being rebooted or remade, what's coming back for another go years or decades after the fact. Original works feel more rare than they have in some time, even despite the odds becoming increasingly stacked against them. It's always been a crap shoot as to what originals will land with audiences and to what degree, as seen with the split between how they took to 2023's Elemental versus Elio this past summer. But when one seems like it's got the juice, there's hope that it can build up the proper momentum and find an audience so it becomes a true great. Or failing that, it can always be a stepping stone towards later projects from its creators and gain more attention down the line. Netflix will get to fulfill several of its KPop-related ambitions, and if Sandfall ever makes an Expedition sequel, players will be all over it. But the most interesting thing about them is seeing the shadow they'll have both cast years after the fact and what new creations come to follow in its footsteps. And if what comes next looks, sounds, and plays as great as what inspired them or finds their own voice, it'll all have been worth it. Want more io9 news?

Cinemark is opening 6 new panoramic, 270-degree movie theaters in 2025, and 14 more next year. Is one coming near you?
Some good news for moviegoers: Cinemark announced on Wednesday it plans to add 18 new panoramic, 270-degree ScreenX movie theaters in the U.S., with six slated to open in 2025, and the remaining next year. Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data Emotionally intelligent people use the 2-week rule to motivate themselves and reach their biggest goals Middle management is dead The deal expands Cinemark's existing partnership with South Korea-based CJ 4DPlex to a total number of 26 Cinemark theaters. It will also add two more theaters in Latin America in 2026, introducing ScreenX to that region's audiences for the first time. The two companies first partnered in 2022, with the launch of their initial ScreenX locations in California and Texas. 'That's been a big goal for us, to get as many theaters open for the last part of the year for 'Wicked: For Good' and, of course, 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' which is such a seminal movie for all of the industry,' Don Savant, CEO of CJ 4DPlex Americas, told CNBC. ScreenX creates a dynamic, 270-degree panoramic field of view by extending movie screens onto the left and right walls of the auditorium, filling the audience's peripheral vision. Fast Company reached out to Cinemark for a list of new locations, but it said it is unable to share further information at this time, as it is 'currently in a quiet period before reporting company earnings.' Movie theater attendance has fallen since the pandemic, with audience habits shifting to streaming home entertainment. According to Octane Seating, 63% of Americans now watch movies at home, as more people turn to their smartphones and other digital devices to consume movies and video instead of a trip to the multiplex. In May, Cinemark reported financial results for the first quarter of 2025 ended March 31, including a total revenue of $541 million, which was a decrease of 6.6% from $579 million for the same quarter of the previous year. It also reported a net loss of $39 million, or 32 cents per share, compared to a net income of $25 million and earnings per share of 19 cents in the same quarter of 2024. Cinemark will report second-quarter earnings results on August 1. The company has a current market capitalization of $3.1 billion.

New Novel, ‘From the Dictators' Shadows: A Family's Journey,' Offers an Immigrant's Story of Civil War, Resistance and Reinvention
Debut novel by Maritza Durán launches from Pegasus Publishers What does it mean to lose a homeland—and to rebuild a life in its absence? Author Maritza Durán explores this in her debut novel " From the Dictators' Shadows: A Family's Journey.' A powerful story based on real events, Durán blends memoir and historical fiction, inviting readers into the world of a family caught between patriotism and persecution—celebrated as heroes of a young republic one day, labeled enemies of the state the next. Through their story, Durán explores the emotional and generational impact of political violence, forced migration, and survival—with deep resonance for today's global crises. 'This novel is more than a family saga. It's a mirror held up to our current moment— a nation slides into authoritarianism, human rights erode, brothers and fathers disappear, and stories like these risk being silenced,' Durán says. 'This is not just a story of the past, it is an ongoing story of families like mine, seeking safety, freedom and dignity.' A Family Fractured by Dictatorship The Burgos Beltrán family's story begins in the late 1800s, as the island nation of Puerto Rey claims its independence. Born into the hopeful beginnings of a new republic, six spirited siblings come of age in a moment of promise and political possibility. But when a violent dictatorship takes hold, the family is torn apart. The brothers stay behind to resist one of the most brutal regimes in Latin American history. The sisters flee to North America, where they face exile, grief, and reinvention as immigrants in New York City. Durán lays bare the emotional toll of families forced to flee under threat of state-sanctioned violence—while honoring the strength it takes to begin again. From the Dictators' Shadows is an immigrant story of resilience, bravery and hope. A Multigenerational Tale Told by Women Told through the voices of three women reflecting on their family's legacy, the novel spans revolution, failed coups, devastating parental loss, political assassination, mental illness, and migration. Yet amid the hardship, it illuminates the quiet triumph of rebuilding lives across oceans. In the U.S., the Burgos Beltrán sisters become more than survivors—they become role models. As entrepreneurs, mothers, and mentors, their story is a testament to the overlooked strength and contribution of immigrant women in America. Why This Story Matters Now 'From the Dictators' Shadows' is a story told in fiction and stitched together with historical truths. It represents the experience of Durán's family and many families throughout Latin America who continue to live through violent political turmoil. Around the world—and here in the U.S.—thousands of immigrants, many fleeing regimes like the one that shadows this story, continue to face detention, discrimination, and danger in the very places they hoped would protect them. This novel gives voice to those who have been assassinated, silenced, or displaced by corrupt governments—and all those who stay behind to resist. It reminds us that migration is not just a policy issue—it is a deeply human story of love, loss, courage, and dignity. 'From the Dictators' Shadows' is available to order now on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
