Harry Styles’ Concert Film Climbs Netflix’s Charts Ahead of BTS’ Reunion

March is going to be a great month for fans of 2010s boy bands, but it’s going to be an even better month for Netflix. The streamer will take the win after being outbid by Paramount in the bidding war for Warner Bros. Not that Netflix is struggling, but it is experimenting with a new format this month by essentially live-streaming a concert. And it’s not just any concert; Netflix bagged the streaming rights to arguably the year’s biggest pop culture event, the long-awaited reunion of the Korean boy band BTS. The band had been on a hiatus for several years, during which each of its members served their mandatory military service. Now that they’ve been discharged, they’re putting together a massive show for their global audience that will include new music. The concert will be followed by a documentary film about the reunion, titled BTS: The Return. However, another concert film has found a spot on the Netflix viewership charts as a lead-in to the BTS live event.

The BTS concert will be held on March 21 in Seoul, featuring members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook all taking the stage together for the first time in over three years. They will subsequently embark on a world tour to promote their new album, “ARIRANG,” which will be released a day before the concert. BTS has emerged as a true cultural phenomenon over the last decade, popularizing Korean culture around the world — from music to cuisine and even Korean shows and movies. In fact, Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time is one directly inspired by BTS: KPop Demon Hunters. The BTS concert will be followed by BTS: The Return, a feature-length documentary about the comeback directed by Bao Nguyen. However, another concert film is climbing the Netflix charts as we speak.

Here’s the Concert Film Climbing the Netflix Charts Ahead of the BTS Takeover Next Week

According to FlixPatrol, Harry Styles: One Night in Manchester was among the most-watched movies on the domestic Netflix charts following its recent debut. However, the film wasn’t able to crack the global top 10 list. It follows former One Direction member Harry Styles performing tracks from his recently released album, “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally,” before he heads on a world tour like BTS. This is Styles’ first concert film, and it features the global pop star performing new music along with his greatest hits. Styles is also actively pursuing a career in movies, having appeared in Christopher Nolan‘s Dunkirk, Olivia Wilde‘s Don’t Worry Darling, and Marvel’s Eternals.
