At $24.99, KPop Demon Hunters costs less than a month of Netflix Premium
A lower price for the set
Barnes and Noble is selling the Criterion Collection edition for $24.99, compared with its original $49.95 price. The deal makes buying the film on disc less expensive than one month of Netflix Premium, listed at $26.99.
The store’s website says the set cannot be shipped. Shoppers can check local retail stores and reserve a copy online for pickup. Amazon had matched the price earlier that day, but its current offer was described as less appealing.
Film and bonus materials
The recently released set includes a 4K digital master with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound. It also comes with two standard 1080p Blu-rays: one with the film and another devoted to special features.
Extras include a feature-length animatic, a making-of documentary and lyric videos. The package also contains collectible postcards and an essay by Polygon alum Karen Han.
A disc for dedicated viewers
The deal may appeal to people who keep Netflix Premium mainly to watch KPop Demon Hunters in 4K. The physical edition brings the movie together with additional viewing materials and collectibles. The writer said the film was already on their list of movies to buy physically, and the discount made it a must-buy ahead of the holiday season.
