KPop Demon Hunters got millions of views in just a few months
Just a few months ago, on the 20th of June 2025, Netflix released the anime film Kpop Demon Hunters. A film about a K-pop girl group that also battles demons in secret. It was an immediate success and maintained an audience decline of 0% for the first three consecutive weeks. While this is already impressive, the movie also recently became Netflix’s most-watched film of all time. It now has more than 236 million views already. The previous record holder was Red Notice, with 230.9 million views.
After its initial success, Netflix released a theatrical sing-along version of the movie. It was only played in just over 1300 theaters in the US, UK, Canada, and New Zealand. It raked in around 20 million dollars in earnings at the domestic box office.
The songs of the movie went viral
The film’s soundtrack also became some of the most popular music on the “Hot 100”. It was the first movie to place 4 songs in the top 10 of this list, with “Golden” in the number one spot. The best part? The songs that are in the top 10 spots are made by fictional K-pop groups such as HUNTR/X and Saja Boys. These tracks now perform better than other groups like Blackpink or BTS and are the highest charting female K-pop act in the US. Have you not heard any of these songs yet?
