KPop Demon Hunters Tops Netflix English-Language Film Charts

KPop Demon Hunters, the animated musical released on Netflix on June 20, 2025, has become the streaming service's most-watched film and spent a record 15 consecutive weeks in Netflix's weekly Top 10 for English-language films, the longest run for a title in that category. The film has logged more than 300 million streams within roughly three months of release and reportedly reached about 325.1 million views by the end of a 91-day tracking period, while never falling below the number two spot on the weekly chart.

The movie's performance has extended beyond streaming. A limited two-day singalong theatrical release in August grossed about $19.2 million across the United States and Canada, marking the first time a Netflix film finished first at the box office over a weekend. The soundtrack has also driven attention, with multiple songs charting and four tracks reaching the Billboard Hot 100 top ten, boosting the film's visibility across music and film audiences.
