Netflix is taking its fight with Disney to a new arena: sing-alongs
Netflix is taking its fight with Disney to hallowed ground: family-friendly sing-alongs. Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters" is briefly coming to select movie theaters as a sing-along event, in a new challenge to the Mouse House. Fans of "Kpop Demon Hunters" and its popular soundtrack can see the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X on the big screen when the smash-hit film hits theaters in the US and Canada on August 23 and 24, Netflix said on Tuesday. The animated flick has become Netflix's fourth-most-watched movie ever since its mid-June debut. It set records by hitting a new viewership peak six weeks after its debut and narrowly missed achieving that feat again in its seventh week. "KPop Demon Hunters" owes some of its success to its chart-topping soundtrack. One of the movie's original songs, "Golden," is the No. 1 track on Billboard's Hot 100 rankings this week, and the full setlist is currently the second most popular album in the world. A Netflix spokesperson didn't provide a comment beyond the press release. Netflix can take on Disney without changing its tune on theaters Putting "KPop Demon Hunters" on big screens is an intriguing move for Netflix, which has often given theaters the cold shoulder. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in April that putting movies exclusively in theaters for months is "an outdated concept," Variety reported. However, Netflix has experimented with theaters, such as by giving "Knives Out 2" a limited theatrical release in 2022 and promising to give big-screen time to Greta Gerwig's forthcoming movie based on "The Chronicles of Narnia." "KPop Demon Hunters" has already moved from a hit to a cultural phenomenon, and creating a limited-edition event may further fuel interest on Netflix and for the soundtrack. Putting "Kpop Demon Hunters" in theaters, even for only two days, suggests that Netflix is set on making its biggest animated film ever a full-blown franchise. Netflix is also encroaching on what's long been Disney's territory: animated family-friendly movies with catchy songs. Disney's most recent swing in original animation, "Elio," underwhelmed at the box office despite strong reviews. Pixar's latest film grossed just shy of $150 million worldwide, and its budget was at least that much, The Hollywood Reporter said. However, "Elio" could get a second wind on Disney+. Netflix placing "KPop Demon Hunters" in theaters may not mean it's rethinking its broader movie strategy, but it does signify that it's trying to take Disney's bread and butter.

WATCH: Meghan Markle Cooking Show Drops S2 Trailer After Deal Renewed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle has dropped the trailer for season two of her Netflix cooking show With Love, Meghan a day after announcing she has signed a new multi-year deal with the streamer. In the video, released Tuesday, Meghan says: "I love the idea of spending time together and finding new ways to show people you care." The trailer was posted to Netflix's official X account with the message: "The best moments are made to be shared ✨ With Love, Meghan returns on August 26th!" Why It Matters Meghan and Netflix jointly announced their new five-year deal on Monday after reports the Sussexes were going to be axed. The new "first look deal" gives Netflix first refusal on projects but does not guarantee them the sky high sums they got first time around, so all eyes will be on how season two performs and whether it leads to season three getting commissioned. The best moments are made to be shared ✨ With Love, Meghan returns on August 26th! — Netflix (@netflix) August 12, 2025 What to Know Meghan and Prince Harry first signed to Netflix in September 2020 for five years in a mega bucks deal that appeared to secure their financial future after quitting the palace earlier that year. Their first show, a biopic retelling the story of their exit from the palace, was a ratings hit but sparked major controversy due to swipes at Harry's family. Meghan Markle smiles during filming of the first season of With Love, Meghan wihich dropped on Netflix in March 2025. Meghan Markle smiles during filming of the first season of With Love, Meghan wihich dropped on Netflix in March 2025. COURTESY OF NETFLIX Since then, their projects have not drawn the same sky high ratings, and With Love season one got brutal reviews. The Sun and People had both reported the deal would not be renewed, but the duchess got one over on the media when she signed a new "first look deal" announced on Monday. The contract means Netflix has first refusal on projects Meghan and Harry pitch but are not obliged to pay them the major yearly sums dished out during the original five-year deal. It will give Netflix the option to significantly reduce the cost of its partnership with Harry and Meghan without terminating the relationship altogether. And that's important for both sides because Netflix is an equity partner in Meghan's lifestyle business As Ever, where she sells jams, flower sprinkles, other produce and more recently wine. That means it takes a cut of her profits. More than that though, Ted Sarandos, Netflix co-CEO, said in March the company is using As Ever as a "discovery model," suggesting it is a test case with lessons learned rolled out across other shows. "We're a passive partner in Meghan's company, and it's a big discovery model for us right now," he told Variety in March. Had they axed the TV deal, they would have dealt a reputational hammer blow to a lifestyle business the success of which they have invested in substantially. It's also hugely important for the Sussexes reputationally after their Spotify multi-year deal fell apart, with executive Bill Simmons firing a parting shot, calling them "f****** grifters." What People Are Saying Meghan said in a statement released to Newsweek Monday: "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand." "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision." Nick Ede, U.K. brand and culture expert, told Newsweek in July that a first look deal would be the best option for both sides: "They've invested a lot into that so they will want to see a return, a massive return. My gut feeling is they will do a first look deal with her." "They will look at the numbers for the new season and see if that does relate to sales, because that's what this is really about. People aren't going to subscribe to Netflix to watch the next Meghan show, so that's done for them from that point of view." What Happens Next Meghan and Netflix on Monday also announced With Love is preparing a festive special due to be broadcast in December. Fans and critics alike will also be keeping a close eye on reviews of the show and whether it does any better than season one. Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.

Prince Harry and Meghan stay with Netflix — but with a lesser deal
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue their stint at Netflix after their production company signed a multi-year, first-look deal with the streamer for film and television projects. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's new arrangement is less exclusive than their original 2020 agreement with Netflix, which was an overall deal, according to a person familiar with the pact. That earlier deal gave Los Gatos-based Netflix the exclusive rights to anything developed by the Sussexes' Archewell Productions and covered things like overhead costs. Netflix and Archewell Productions did not disclose the terms of the Sussexes' new deal in statements released Monday. "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand," Meghan said in a statement, referring to her lifestyle brand, which was developed in partnership with Netflix and includes wine, cookie mix and fruit preserves. So far, Archewell Productions has released several documentary series and reality shows, including 2022's "Harry & Meghan" and "Live to Lead," which chronicled the life stories of world leaders, 2023's sports-focused "Heart of Invictus," 2024's "Polo" and cooking show "With Love, Meghan." "Harry & Meghan," which detailed the couple's love story and exit as working royals, got a total of 23.4 million views on the streaming platform, making it Netflix's fifth-most popular documentary series of all time, the company said. "With Love, Meghan" had 5.3 million views in the first half of 2025, making it Netflix's most-watched culinary show since its release. 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere," Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said in a statement. "We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.' Archewell Productions' upcoming slate of projects includes a second season of "With Love, Meghan," which releases later this month, a film adaptation of the romance book "Meet Me at the Lake" and a documentary short called "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within" about an orphanage in Uganda.
