IF the film ends up on Netflix, they will pay a hefty licensing fee to the production company Hive Media Corp for the rights to stream the movie for a set period (18 to 24 months).
For the filmmakers, the theatrical run paid off the debt, the streaming deal is the bonus check.
Since #Assassins isn't an Original Netflix exclusive, the streaming rules apply to it as a licensed theatrical acquisition.
Zero Risk, Pure Profit!
Because it has already grossed big in theaters & cleared its theatrical hurdles, any money from a streaming platform is pure profit.
For the star-studded cast: #LeeMinHo Yoo Hai-jin & Park Hae-il, a post-theatrical Netflix deal expands their global footprint.
The massive influx of international eyeballs exponentially raises their global market value for their nextstreaming-exclusive project.
#Assassins Ranks No.1 Korean Film for 19 consecutive daysโLong-term Box Office Success in 4th Week. Positive reviews for the immersive chase narrative,dense direction,& the actors' flawless ensemble performance persist, demonstrating a solid word-of-mouth phenomenon.

The beauty isn't in how it ends, but how gently it remains. Not an absence, just warmth settling into dusk.

@Tusia_Mino@ActorLeeMinHo I will continue to praise actor Lee Min-ho for his powerful performances and place him among the select few international actors who have been able to embody the characters they have portrayed over the years.
