The sing-along version of KPop Demon Hunters has become a box office sensation following its release in theaters last weekend and nabbed an impressive record for Netflix.
The animated film has been a consistent hit since its release on Netflix last June. Not only has it become the most-viewed original animated film of all time on the platform, but the soundtrack has also topped various Billboard charts. Fans have been wondering what the franchise plan is for the movie now that it has solidified its place in current pop culture.
Did the Sing-Along Version of KPop Demon Hunters Top the Box Office Chart?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sing-along version of KPop Demon Hunters managed to gross around $18-20 million when it was released in 1,700 North American theaters last weekend.
There is no exact figure since Netflix doesn't report box office numbers, but this is a massive win for the streamer since this is the first time that its film topped the box office charts.
However, some box office reports did not crown KPop Demon Hunters as the winner of the weekend box office due to the lack of figures. Instead, they gave the spot to Weapons, which managed to gross $15.6 million on its third consecutive week top of the charts.
This is a very impressive achievement for Netflix since they rarely release their original films in theaters (especially a title that has been available on the platform for months), and they somehow manage to attract a lot of audiences across the country.
It is unknown yet whether it will extend its run beyond its two-day release plan, but this just shows how the film has become a genuine cultural phenomenon, which is an achievement that no other Netflix original movie has ever achieved before.
