‘KPop Demon Hunters' Ends Hit Soundtrack Drought
The drought is officially over. By entering the Billboard 200 at No. 8, KPop Demon Hunters becomes the highest-charting soundtrack since Wicked ranked No. 8 on the chart dated Jan. 25, on its way down from its No. 2 peak. More from Billboard Where Are the Blockbuster Soundtracks? The Screen Has Gone Dark for Hit Movie Albums Since 'Wicked' & 'Twisters' Mariah Carey Confirms Her New Album Is Finished: 'We Got Some Mariah Ballads' Charley Crockett's Second Album of the Year Is Arriving Soon: 'I Don't Gamble. I Just Risk It All' This ends a nine-week stretch in which there wasn't a single soundtrack in the top half of Billboard's flagship albums chart. Things were particularly bleak the last two weeks, when the highest-charting soundtrack (Twisters: The Album) was way down at No. 175. That album had debuted and peaked at No. 7 in August 2024, but was leading Billboard's Top Soundtracks chart in recent weeks largely because there was no fresh competition. There is now. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack was released through Republic Records on June 20, the same day the film premiered on Netflix. The album was preceded by Twice's version of 'Takedown' as the lead single. KPop Demon Hunters is the highest-charting soundtrack from an animated film since Metro Boomin's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ranked No. 7 on the Billboard 200 dated July 1, 2023, on its way down from its No. 5 peak. Billboard's Keith Caulfield reports that it's the first soundtrack from a Netflix program to reach No. 1 on Top Soundtracks in more than two years — since Stranger Things: Soundtrack from the Netflix Series, Season 4, re-entered atop the list dated Nov. 19, 2022. And when it rains, it pours: Another hot soundtrack, F1: The Album, was released on June 27 and is expected to debut high on next week's Billboard 200. Five singles have been released from the album – Don Toliver's 'Lose My Mind' (featuring Doja Cat), Rosé's 'Messy,' Myke Towers' 'Baja California,' Tate McRae's 'Just Keep Watching' and Ed Sheeran's 'Drive.' If both KPop Demon Hunters and F1: The Album appear in the top 10 on next week's Billboard 200, it will mark the first time that two soundtracks have appeared in the top 10 simultaneously since the chart dated Jan. 8, 2022, when Encanto ranked No. 7 and the Vince Guaraldi Trio's legendary soundtrack from 1965's A Charlie Brown Christmas ranked No. 8. F1: The Movie was the weekend's top-grossing film in the U.S. and Canada, with an estimated gross of $55.6 million, according to It bumped How to Train Your Dragon, the boxoffice leader the two previous weekends, down to No. 2. Here's the full tracklist from KPop Demon Hunters: 'TAKEDOWN' – Twice (Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung) 'How It's Done' – HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI) 'Soda Pop' – Saja Boys (Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee) 'Golden' – HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI) 'Strategy' – Twice 'TAKEDOWN' – HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI) 'Your Idol' – Saja Boys (Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee) 'Free' – Rumi and Jinu (EJAE and Andrew Choi) 'What It Sounds Like' – HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI) 'Love Maybe' – MeloMance 'Path' – Jokers Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Four Decades of 'Madonna': A Look Back at the Queen of Pop's Debut Album on the Charts Chart Rewind: In 1990, Madonna Was in 'Vogue' Atop the Hot 100

Can Gaming Become the Next Revenue Pillar for Netflix Stock?
Netflix NFLX offers games to keep its audience engaged. The streaming giant serves more than 300 million paid households, offering ample engagement opportunities through its 'no-cost' gaming titles. Netflix focuses on offering immersive narrative games based on its content, with the most recent example being the launch of Squid Game: Unleashed, which came alongside the release of Squid Game Season 3. Even non-members can play the game — a strategic move to attract new users to Netflix's company is focusing on mainstream titles like Grand Theft Auto and expanding into kids' games with the launch of the Peppa Pig game. Moreover, socially engaging party games represent a category that Netflix plans to penetrate over the long plans to invest in game development, but in a measured way. Over the long term, the company expects games to generate roughly $140 billion in consumer spending, excluding ad engagement trends driven by a more diverse entertainment offering and a strong games portfolio bodes well for Netflix's prospects. For the second quarter of 2025, NFLX forecasts revenues to increase 15.4% (+17% F/X neutral) to $11.035 billion. Netflix continues to forecast 2025 revenues of $43.5-$44.5 billion, which assumes healthy member growth, higher subscription pricing and a rough doubling of ad revenues. Netflix faces stiff competition from players like Take-Two Interactive TTWO and Electronic Arts EA. Take Two Interactive benefits from a solid portfolio that includes NBA 2K25/2K24, Grand Theft Auto Online, Toon Blast, Empires & Puzzles, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Words With Friends. Take-Two Interactive's future release slate holds significant growth potential. The announced lineup includes major titles spanning multiple genres. The titles include Mafia: The Old Country, Borderlands 4, NBA 2K26, WWE 2K26, CSR 3, Civilization VII for Switch, and the immensely anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for May Arts expects continued growth in live services, as well as the launch of new non-annual titles in fiscal 2027. Its popularity is primarily driven by its well-known franchises, which will continue to fuel the top line. EA SPORTS titles, along with Madden NFL, The Sims and Apex Legends, are some of its biggest franchises. Electronic Arts is positioned for strong growth with two major franchise launches in fiscal year 2026 — Battlefield and Skate.

2025's best movies (so far) include ‘Sinners,' ‘Sorry Baby' and ‘One of Them Days'
Often the best movies of the second half of the year come almost preordained as the Oscars Industrial Complex revs into high gear. The first half, though, can offer more of a thrill of discovery. The first six months of 2025 have offered plenty of that, including indie gems, comedy breakouts and sensational filmmaking debuts. Here are our 10 favorites from the year's first half. 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' is the kind of charming gem that's easy to recommend to any kind of movie lover. It is goofy and friendly, has an armful of lovely folk songs, an all-timer of a rambling character, in Tim Key's eccentric and completely lovable Charles, Tom Basden's grumpy, too-cool straight man, and the always delightful Carey Mulligan. 'Wallis Island' is a film about letting go and moving on told with humor, wit and a big heart. Also hailing from the British Isles is the equally delightful 'Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.' (streaming on Peacock) —Bahr 'One of Them Days' The big-screen comedy has been an almost extinct creature in recent years, but Lawrence Lamont's 'One of Them Days' gives me hope. Not only was this buddy comedy a surprise box-office hit, it is probably the exhibit A in the case of Keke Palmer Should Be in Everything. She and SZA, in her film debut, play Los Angeles housemates in a madcap race to make rent. (Streaming on Netflix) —Coyle 'Sorry, Baby' There's a sequence in Eva Victor's delicate, considered and disarmingly funny directorial debut, 'Sorry, Baby' that kind of took my breath away. You know something bad is going to happen to Agnes, it's literally the logline of the film. You sense that her charismatic thesis adviser is a bit too fixated on her. The incident itself isn't seen, Victor places their camera outside of his home. Agnes goes inside, the day turns to evening and the evening turns to night, and Agnes comes out, changed. But we stay with her as she finds her way to her car, to her home and, most importantly to her friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie). This is a film about what happens after the bad thing. And it's a stunner. (In theaters) —Bahr 'Black Bag' Arguably the best director-screenwriter tandem this decade has been Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp . They were behind the pandemic thriller 'Kimi' and another standout of 2025, the ghost-POV 'Presence.' But their spy thriller-marital drama 'Black Bag,' starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as married British intelligence agents, may be their best collaboration yet. It's certainly the one with the most delicious dialogue. How has it taken the movies this long to make a dinner scene with spies dosed with truth serum? (Streaming on Peacock) —Coyle 'Materialists' Celine Song's 'Materialists ' might not be the film people wanted it to be, but it's the film they need in this land of high-end dating apps, designer dupes and everyone pretending to live like minor socialites on Instagram. A thoughtful meditation on money, worth, love and companionship, this is a film that upends everything we've come to think we want from the so-called romantic comedy (the idea of prince charming, the inexplicable wealth that's supposed to coexist with middle class mores). Lifestyle porn will always have a place in the rom-com machine, but this is a populist film, both modern and timeless, that reminds us that love should be easy. It should feel like coming home. 'Materialists' is simply the most purely romantic film of the year. (In theaters) — Bahr 'Sinners' Not only does the wait go on for Ryan Coogler to make a bad movie, he seems to be still realizing his considerable talents. There are six months to go, still, in 2025, but I doubt we'll have a big scale movie that so thrillingly doubles (see what I did there) as a personal expression for its filmmaker as 'Sinners.' This exhilarating vampire saga is ambitiously packed with deep questions about community, Black entertainment, Christianity and, of course, Irish dancing. (Streaming on Max) —Coyle 'Pavements' In a world of woefully straightforward documentaries and biopics about musicians, Alex Ross Perry decided to creatively, and a little chaotically, upend the form with his impossible-to-categorize film about the 90s indie band Pavement . Blending fact, fiction, archive, performance, this winkingly rebellious piece is wholly original and captivating, and, not unlike Todd Haynes's 'I'm Not There,' the kind of movie to turn someone who's maybe enjoyed a few Pavement and Stephen Malkmus songs into a fan. (In theaters, streaming on MUBI July 11) —Bahr 'April' A rare and exquisite precision guides Dea Kulumbegashvili's rigorous and despairing second feature . Beneath stormy spring skies in the European country of Georgia, a leading local obstetrician (Ia Sukhitashvili) pitilessly works to help women who are otherwise disregarded, vilified or worse. This is a movie coursing with dread, but its expression of a deep-down pain is piercing and unforgettable. (Not currently available) —Coyle 'On Becoming a Guinea Fowl' A visually, and thematically arresting marvel, Rungano Nyoni's darkly comedic, stylish and hauntingly bizarre film about unspoken generational trauma takes audiences to a place, I'm guessing, many have never been: A Zambian family funeral. And yet its truths ring universal, as the elder generation turns their heads from the awful truth that the dead man, Fred, was a predator and pedophile, while the younger wonders if things must stay as they are. (Streaming on HBO Max on July 4) —Bahr 'Friendship' On TV, Tim Robinson and Nathan Fielder have been doing genius-level comedy. Fielder hasn't yet jumped into his own films, but, then again, it's hard to get an epic of cringe comedy and aviation safety like season two of 'The Rehearsal' into a feature-length movie. But in 'Friendship,' writer and director Andrew DeYoung brings Robinson, star of 'I Think You Should Leave,' into well-tailored, very funny and dementedly perceptive movie scenario. He plays a man who awkwardly befriends a cool neighbor (Paul Rudd). While their differences make for most of the comedy in the movie, 'Friendship' — which culminates in a telling wink — is really about their similarities. (Available for digital rental) — Coyle
