In a recent statement to THR, Netflix head of film Dan Lin went out of his way to give a shout out to Sony, saying that he and Minghella are “thrilled to be supporting” Kang and co-director Chris Appelhans “and Kristine Belson and her team at Sony Animation” as their studio partner.

In the same exchange with THR, Lin noted that Netflix allows its films to build an audience organically and over time. That’s a luxury theater owners can’t afford to offer if a film has a sluggish start. “As word of mouth spread and social media caught on, we saw viewing really take off and the movie became a cultural phenomenon — it’s one of the only films to grow its audiences in its fifth and six weeks of release,” Lin said.

Kang and Appelhans have spoken in the broadest of strokes about a possible sequel. But the more pressing issue is arriving at a deal between Sony and Netflix.

Stay tuned.

Well, they would be dumb not to. Two days in the theater and KDH was the number one movie at the box office this weekend (estimated $19 million in the States). It's the most watched film on Netflix EVER. The OST holds spots 1-7 on the Spotify top 50. Four of the songs are in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, a feat that hasn't been managed in decades. And that's just States' numbers. For example, Golden is on its way to beat out GD for most weeks at #1 on the Circle chart in 2025.

Sony has to be kicking themselves for chickening out and selling it to a streamer.

For real, the writers did excellent with the songs. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the entertainment companies are trying to get in line to buy from them.
