The animated musical film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," which premiered on Netflix in late June, has exceeded all expectations, becoming one of the hottest and most talked-about global releases of the summer. Its soundtrack has consistently topped new music charts. Due to the film's immense popularity, Netflix swiftly arranged special sing-along screenings in over 1,700 theaters across North America, and its box office performance has once again stunned observers.

The "K-Pop Demon Hunters" sing-along screenings debuted in North American cinemas last weekend, immediately claiming the top spot at the box office with an estimated $18 million to $20 million. Reports indicate that approximately 1,150 showings were completely sold out. This performance is particularly astonishing given that "K-Pop Demon Hunters" is not a new release, but a film that has been available on streaming for over two months. Its ability to generate such significant revenue in theaters, outperforming multiple new films released the same week, clearly demonstrates that its phenomenal popularity shows no signs of waning.
