K-POP Superstar Turns into a Demon Hunter, Becoming Netflix’s Most Popular Film Ever

The film “K-POP Demon Hunters,” which features K-POP superstars transformed into demon hunters, has become Netflix’s most popular movie in its history. Since its release in June, it has attracted widespread attention thanks to its addictive soundtrack, which has been streamed to approximately 250 million people worldwide. Early last week, the film surpassed Sony Pictures Animation’s “Weapon” to become Netflix’s top-rated title, and on Tuesday it even overtook the action movie “Red Notice” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. What is particularly noteworthy is that the film shows almost no decline in viewing numbers. Netflix has emphasized on a weekly basis that the movie is not losing viewers, with around 26 million views recorded for three consecutive weeks so far. This is a very rare achievement in the streaming platform era, where retaining subscribers is of utmost importance, and it is encouraging for Netflix executives as the trend of watching content together continues to grow. Given the ongoing global demand for K-POP culture and its worldwide influence, this film is seen as having the potential to expand into a franchise. In fact, news of a sequel being produced was reported this week. Meanwhile, Netflix has decided not to disclose box office figures and is reportedly asking theater chains not to submit ticket sales data to Comscore, so that competitors cannot determine how K-POP films perform at the box office.
