K-Pop Demon Hunters has set another significant record, becoming Netflix’s most-watched movie.
Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time has changed. The animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, which blends the world of K-Pop with a demon-hunting storyline, has shattered all viewing records on the platform, becoming the new leader.
K-Pop Demon Hunters Claims the Throne
Released by Netflix on June 20, the film didn’t attract much attention before its premiere. However, after reaching audiences, it quickly gained popularity and exceeded all expectations. The movie offers a storyline connected to the globally popular K-Pop culture. Additionally, the film’s rapid spread on social media platforms like TikTok and X played a major role in its rise to the top.
Following the film’s success, work on a sequel has already begun. The production company behind the film, Sony Pictures, has entered talks with Netflix, and an official agreement is expected to be signed soon, with preparations for the sequel set to begin in the near future.
The film focuses on Rumi, Mira, and Zoe, the stars of a famous K-Pop group. While these young idols perform concerts in front of stadiums packed with fans, they also secretly use their special powers to battle demonic forces.
Netflix’s list of most-watched movies has been reshaped with K-Pop Demon Hunters taking the top spot. The film surpassed Red Notice to claim first place. The updated list now includes the following titles: Carry On, Don’t Look Up, The Adam Project, Bird Box, Back In Action, Leave the World Behind, The Gray Man, and Damsel.
This shift highlights how significant the animation genre has become in Netflix’s overall content strategy.
