Animated hit breaks record held by 2021 action movie Red Notice and has also had box office and music chart success
An animated caper about singing teenagers who secretly battle the forces of evil has confirmed its status as the breakout hit of the summer after becoming Netflix’s most-watched film in its history.
KPop Demon Hunters, which tells the story of a world-famous all-female K-pop group tasked with protecting the world in their spare time, has become a surprise sensation since its launch in June.
Netflix has now confirmed the film is its most viewed of all time in any genre, overtaking its 2021 action movie Red Notice, which featured the Hollywood sparkle of the A-listers Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. KPop Demon Hunters has now had more than 230m views.
It has also broken records at cinema box offices and in the music charts over recent weeks, defying concerns that original, animated movies were losing their lustre.
