Through the end of November, every single Criterion release that has already come to market gets a 50% mark-down. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">KPop Demon Hunters is the Collection&#8217;s most recent release, having dropped this past Tuesday, and thus narrowly makes the cut-off to be a part of this year\u2019s sale. It goes without saying these are the lowest prices yet on all three editions, which are still the only home entertainment release for the massive Netflix movie. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\"><strong>KPop Demon Hunters Is 50% Off in Criterion Collection Sale<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"236603\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"236603\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"KPop Demon Hunters (The Criterion Collection)\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/19\/kpop-1787147979923.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/19\/kpop-1787147979923.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">KPop Demon Hunters (The Criterion Collection)<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Pricing-wise, the 4K has dropped to $24.99 (from $49.95), the Blu-ray is down to $19.99 (from $39.99), and the DVD is $14.99 (down from $29.99). This 50% discount math applies to the entire Criterion Collection through Barnes &amp; Noble, which offers relatively standard pricing across hundreds of DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K editions. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The timing likely isn&#8217;t a coincidence, as Criterion often has a big release that just narrowly makes the sale cut-off. Ahead of the most recent July sale, it was the $400 Kubrick Collection, so at least this &#8216;headliner,&#8217; if you will, is already more affordable. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As always, the Criterion edition has its own cover art. In this case, we get new artwork from Ami Thompson, who also worked on the film as a character designer. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">New collectibles included in the Criterion release.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Criterion cover shows all three members of HUNTR\/X using their personalized weapons in a joyful attack from the skies, recalling the opening &#8216;Takedown&#8217; scene from the movie. The trio is accompanied by Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird, depicted in front of mystical hints at the Honmoon. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The new edition also comes with a fresh slate of bonus features. While it unfortunately skips out on a commentary track, it does include a new making-of documentary, multiple video essays, and collectible postcards featuring original illustrations by artists who worked on the film, seen above.<\/p>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\"><strong>KPop Demon Hunters Bonus Features: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>New 4K digital master, approved by directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack<\/li>\n<li>Full feature-length animatic, with a new introduction by Kang and Appelhans<\/li>\n<li>New making-of documentary<\/li>\n<li>Two video essays by filmmakers Taylor Ramos &amp; Tony Zhou <\/li>\n<li>Lyric videos<\/li>\n<li>Trailer<\/li>\n<li>English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing and English descriptive audio<\/li>\n<li>PLUS: An essay by critic Karen Han<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you haven\u2019t already seen KPop Demon Hunters, you must live under a very large rock. The movie was originally produced by Sony Pictures Animation, including some crossover with the Spider-Verse team, but dropped as a straight-to-streaming Netflix Original. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The generally low attention span of the streaming era was no match for the power of HUNTR\/X, however, which proceeded to break multiple Netflix records and pick up a number of awards. Netflix has already promised to correct the record by giving the sequel a full theatrical release, but don\u2019t expect to see it on the big screen until 2029. <\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\"><strong>More HUNTR\/X News: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Blythe Dujardin Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/66327e90ab9f50001d8194e3\/IMG_2409-1722887879023.jpeg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/66327e90ab9f50001d8194e3\/IMG_2409-1722887879023.jpeg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Blythe (she\/her) is an Audience Development Coordinator at IGN who spends way too much time in character customization screens and tracking down collectibles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/section>\n<p><\/output><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/kpop-demon-hunters-criterion-collection-4k-blu-ray-sale-for-black-friday-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KPop Demon Hunters officially joined the Criterion Collection earlier this week, and now the new release is already 50% off.
