A new champion has been crowned on Netflix. The animated sensation “KPop Demon Hunters” has officially claimed the top spot as the most-watched film on the streaming platform, drawing in a massive global audience and rewriting the record books.
Since its June release, the film has been viewed 236 million times, edging out the previous titleholder, “Red Notice,” which stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. This remarkable achievement underscores a growing trend of animated and internationally-flavored content finding mainstream success.
The film tells the story of a popular K-pop girl group named Huntr/x, who lead a secret double life fighting supernatural threats. The unique concept, combined with stunning visuals and an acclaimed musical score, has turned the movie into a worldwide phenomenon.
While it leads in the crucial metric of total views, its shorter runtime places it third in terms of total minutes watched, just behind “Red Notice” and “Don’t Look Up.” Nonetheless, with a chart-topping soundtrack and a sequel in development, “KPop Demon Hunters” is a certified smash hit.
