The rise has been swift and unstoppable. “K-Pop Demon Hunters” has climbed to the absolute pinnacle of streaming success, becoming the most-watched film in Netflix’s history. The animated K-pop musical’s journey to the top has been a masterclass in capturing the global imagination.
Fueled by immense buzz and critical acclaim, the film secured a record-breaking 236 million views since its summer debut. This achievement saw it unseat “Red Notice,” a film that represented the traditional model of a Hollywood blockbuster, proving that the old rules no longer apply.
While its rise to the top of the view count chart is complete, it holds the third spot on the list of total minutes watched. With 23 billion minutes viewed, it follows “Red Notice” and “Don’t Look Up,” a statistic that highlights the impact of its efficient 100-minute runtime.
The film’s ascent is mirrored on the music charts, where its soundtrack has become a sensation with four top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. A sequel is already on its way, promising that the unstoppable rise of “K-Pop Demon Hunters” will continue.
