A wildly popular animated Netflix movie, KPop Demon Hunters, is now playing at nearly 1,800 movie theaters across the US, thanks to a singalong experience. The film tells the story of an all-girl rock band’s battle against evil spirits and has become a fan favorite. With 62 screenings planned for this weekend in Daly City, California, fans are flocking to see it on the big screen. Netflix added these events at the last minute due to high demand.
Fans dressed as their favorite characters from the movie are attending the singalongs, singing along to the soundtrack and dancing with glow sticks. Parents are taking their children to the screenings, enjoying good songs, a great storyline, and impressive animation. Industry analysts say it’s unusual for Netflix to partner with theaters, but it makes strategic sense as a promotional tool.
The event could lead to a major franchise, including merchandise, theme parks, and more soundtracks. With its creators discussing a potential sequel, fans can’t get enough of KPop Demon Hunters. The singalong events are becoming the platform’s most-watched film ever, with many screenings selling out in advance.
