The Summer Hit No One Saw Coming

The K-Pop Warriors, also known as K-Pop Demon Hunters, confirmed its massive appeal at a special two-day event on August 23 and 24, shown in over 1,700 theaters across the United States and Canada, where it pulled in nearly $22 million and topped the North American box office.

After debuting on Netflix and becoming the summer’s breakout hit without anyone predicting it, the K-Pop Demon Hunters phenomenon has also stamped its mark on Spotify with its soundtrack and, now, in cinemas.
The film, which blends fantastical worlds with musical performances, managed to captivate a broad global fanbase over the course of the season.

On Spotify, the soundtrack has burned through the charts, turning the album into a must-have of the season.
The track Golden has emerged as the summer’s musical hit, climbing to first place on the Billboard Global 200 and leading the rankings in fourteen countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea.

The soundtrack also dominated Spotify’s charts, grabbing the American daily chart’s No. 1 spot while staying at the top of the global rankings.
Meanwhile, the film confirmed its blockbuster status during a special event on August 23 and 24, broadcast to more than 1,700 theaters across the United States and Canada, where it raked in nearly $22 million and soared to the lead position at the North American box office.

This cinema triumph, a first for a Netflix production, demonstrates K-Pop’s ability to cross borders and establish itself as a global cultural phenomenon.
Netflix announced that this musical-animated film is now the platform’s most popular English-language title in history, surpassing Red Notice, with a total of 236 million views.
