Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” is set to conquer the box office this weekend with a limited sing-along release in movie theaters. The film, which follows a fictional girl group who lead secret double lives as demon slayers, has already sold out nearly 1,100 screenings and could gross up to $15 million.
The movie’s success on Netflix and the music charts is not surprising, given its blockbuster soundtrack and record-breaking views. With over 210 million views in just two months, it ranks as Netflix’s second most-watched movie of all time. The film’s original songs by Huntr/x have shattered records on Billboard and Spotify charts, with “Golden” reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The limited release is a welcome reprieve for the weak end-of-summer box office season. With no major releases competing against it, “KPop Demon Hunters” stands out as a potential winner this weekend. The film’s success could add to its accolades, including earning a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The sing-along release is also expected to boost the movie’s soundtrack and song sales. With no major releases competing against it, “KPop Demon Hunters” has a chance to dominate the box office this weekend and solidify its position as a global phenomenon.
