The moment has finally arrived: Kpop Demon Hunters has officially become Netflix’s most popular film of all time.
The animated musical added another 25.4M views from August 18 to 24, bringing its total since its June 20 premiere to 236M views. It has now surpassed Red Notice to take the top spot on the Most Popular English Films list, as expected.
What’s even more impressive is that this doesn’t seem to be even close to the end of the road for the title’s performance. Last week marked the third consecutive week that the film has exhibited nearly 0% audience decline, after two straight intervals of 26M views.
Thanks to the launch of KPop Demon Hunters The Sing-Along Event, the film is likely to see another big boost in viewing over the course of this week. Deadline understands that Netflix plans to combine the viewership for the sing-along and the original movie, even though they are separate titles on the streamer, so we expect some pretty huge numbers in the next report as audiences tune into this new version.
KPop Demon Hunters has 24 days left in its 91-day premiere window to keep racking up views and widening the distance between it and now-No. 2 Red Notice (which had 230M views in 91 days).
Over on the TV side of things, the first episodes of Wednesday Season 2 took the top spot with 13.4M views. Season 1 also made an appearance at No. 4 with 4M views as audiences refreshed their memories and/or caught up before diving into Season 2.
Wednesday is likely to stick around the charts for quite a while, as Part 2 of the second season is poised to launch on September 3.
