KPop Demon Hunters Hits 1,700+ Theaters in North America, UK, Australia

Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters has become a major success, quickly rising to be one of the most-watched animated originals on the platform with over 180 million views. The movie, which follows a K-pop trio battling demons while performing as global superstars, is set for a special two-day theatrical sing-along event across North America, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, with over 1,700 cinemas already booked and many showings sold out. The film's soundtrack has also achieved significant acclaim, with multiple songs reaching the Billboard Top 10 and the album peaking at No. 2. Comparisons have been drawn between KPop Demon Hunters and the iconic Sailor Moon franchise due to their super-powered heroines and cultural impact, suggesting the new film may achieve similar lasting popularity. Despite competition from other Netflix originals like Night Always Comes, KPop Demon Hunters continues to dominate Netflix's Top 10 list and is reportedly in talks for a sequel. The film's blend of pop spectacle, supernatural action, and musical elements has resonated strongly with audiences and critics alike, helping it maintain a record-breaking presence on the streaming service.
