KPOP DEMON HUNTERS Is the Most Watched Netflix Movie Ever (And Its First Box Office Hit)

According to CNBC, “Rival studios on Sunday estimated “KPop Demon Hunters” led all films over the weekend with $16-18 million in ticket sales. Distribution executives from three studios shared their estimates for the Netflix phenomenon on condition of anonymity because the streaming company has a policy of not reporting ticket sales.” Some have even estimated the movie made about $20 million in its weekend stint at the theater. Apparently, Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters even made it to the top of the box office without appearing at the popular AMC Theaters chain. AMC declined to show the movie. But those KPOP gals didn’t need ’em to send Netflix to #1. That’s two total wins for KPOP Demon Hunters.

If you’re not in the know, KPOP Demon Hunters is Netflix’s musical sensation that has been winning hearts and minds with its candy colored visuals and gorgeous animation. Tickets to its sing-along screenings absolutely sold out in a heartbeat. So we do not feel even slightly surprised to hear that this movie is number one across the board.

The synopsis for Netflix’s KPOP Demon Hunters shares, “A K-pop girl group must harness the power of their music to protect the world from demons in this action-packed animated adventure.” Netflix has also made the sing-along version of KPOP Demon Hunters available to everyone at home.

We guess there’s only one thing left to do. Get out the karaoke mic and turn on KPOP Demon Hunters once again, we can’t let the Huntr/x gals lose their crown!
