Netflix’s ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Tops Box Office with Singalong Version

Hey followers! Today, let’s dive into how a catchy animated film is making waves bigger than a K-pop concert, all thanks to Netflix.

Surprisingly, a singalong version of Netflix’s animated hit “KPop Demon Hunters” is projected to rake in approximately $18 million to $20 million this weekend, swiftly claiming the number one spot at the US box office. What’s remarkable? It’s only been in theaters for Saturday and Sunday, yet it’s already leading the charts.

This isn’t Netflix’s first dance at the box office. Previously, Apple’s “F1” film, released by Warner Bros., debuted with a whopping $57 million. Still, this marks a first for Netflix clinching the top spot with a theatrical release, although the figures aren’t officially confirmed by Netflix but are estimated by industry sources.

Elegant as the weekend was quiet with no major new releases, “Weapons,” in its third week, earned around $15.4 million, bringing its total domestic gross to $115 million. This is a milestone for Netflix, which has typically avoided traditional cinema runs, possibly alienating some fans and filmmakers alike. Its near-release of Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion” and Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia” adaptation—both set for larger releases—shows it’s dabbling more in theaters.

What makes this even more impressive? The film has been available on streaming since late June and already boasts over 210 million views on Netflix, making it the second most-watched movie on the platform after “Red Notice” and “Carry-On.” Produced by Sony Pictures Animation with a Korean/Korean American cast, the film’s story revolves around a girl group that hunts demons, including their rival band. Its hit song “Golden” has topped Billboard charts and streamed over 400 million times, adding to its popularity.
