Netflix has crowned a new queen of its platform, and it’s the animated musical sensation “KPop Demon Hunters.” The film has officially been named the most popular movie in the streamer’s history, thanks to an astonishing 236 million views.
This achievement means the film has dethroned “Red Notice,” the action-comedy that previously held the coveted top spot. The success of “KPop Demon Hunters” is a powerful statement about the changing tastes of global audiences, who are embracing animation and international culture like never before.
The movie has been praised for its beautiful visuals, compelling narrative about a demon-hunting K-pop group, and an incredibly popular soundtrack. That soundtrack made history on its own by charting four songs in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10.
Although it ranks third for total watch time, its supremacy in the all-important “views” category is undeniable. With a sequel on the horizon, “KPop Demon Hunters” has established itself as a powerful new franchise for Netflix.
