The final count is in, and the verdict is historic. It is now official: no film in the history of Netflix has been watched by more people than “K-Pop Demon Hunters.” The animated musical has secured the number one spot for all-time view count.
Since its release in June, the film has been selected by an unprecedented 236 million accounts worldwide. This official figure confirms its victory over the previous record holder, the action-comedy “Red Notice,” marking a new chapter in streaming history.
While it holds the official record for the most-watched film, it is third on the list for total accumulated watch time. With a runtime of 100 minutes, its 23 billion minutes viewed is an incredible total but falls short of the longer films “Red Notice” and “Don’t Look Up.”
The film’s official success is not limited to streaming. It is also an official music phenomenon, with four songs charting in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. With a sequel now in development, its legacy is officially secure.
