Kpop Demon Hunters has climbed up, up, up Netflix's charts to become its most viewed movie ever, the streaming platform says. Since its release in June, the film has been watched more than 236 million times, overtaking the action comedy Red Notice to take the top spot.
It is the latest in a series of chart-topping achievements by the film, which has become a surprise global hit. Songs from the movie have also been among the most streamed online on Spotify, with the track 'Golden' hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month.
Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, Kpop Demon Hunters follows the adventures of a fictional K-pop girl band named Huntr/x, as its three members use their music and fighting skills to protect humans from demons. Although launched with a low-key premiere, the film gained momentum through word of mouth and viral social media content.
Many have praised it for its stunning animation and its blend of traditional and modern Korean culture. The movie features catchy K-pop songs, produced by industry veterans. In response to the soundtrack's popularity, Netflix released a sing-along version, marking its first number one film at the US box office.
Many songs from the soundtrack have entered Spotify's top 10 charts, making Huntr/x and their rivals Saja Boys the highest-charting K-pop groups in US Spotify history, surpassing BTS and Blackpink. The Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack is also notable for having four simultaneous Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, with discussions around a potential sequel reportedly underway.
