Sony’s CEO on Seeing ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Become a Big Hit… for Netflix

The success of KPop Demon Hunters has been one of the stories of the summer. Sure, Lilo & Stitch was the highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office.

But above all that, it’s the animated musical that became not only Netflix’s biggest movie ever but also a box office hit in a single weekend that history will look back on with most interest.

I tested the Abxylute One Pro, and it nails game streaming (with a catch)
