‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Has Somehow Reached Yet Another Milestone



The hype for KPop Demon Hunters only grows as its summer success blazes a trail into the fall and fans clamor for more.

The Sony Pictures Animation feature, which Netflix acquired for the platform, has hit another first, as it has moved into the top spot on Nielsen’s overall top 10 streaming chart, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The numbers don’t lie and if the rush to get out merch and costumes is any indication, the Netflix animated hit is truly this generation’s Frozen. “Golden” and “Soda Pop” are on constant rotation in my and my friends’ social media posts, at least so I can attest to that.

The Nielsen streaming charts are dominated by Netflix projects—including Wednesday season two, which previously held the overall top spot and had a lot of anticipation built around its return. But it’s truly powerful to note that Mira, Rumi, and Zoey join Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as the streamer’s most popular heroines. Demon boys and Hydes beware!

KPop Demon Hunters was released August 23, and it took over the number one spot in the last week of August. Its highest weekly viewing total sits at 1.12 billion minutes in the United States, easily beating out other mainstays such as Bluey and SpongeBob SquarePants.

This milestone also marks KPop Demon Hunters’ 11th week appearing in the Nielsen charts, topping its own record for original streaming film that it set the week prior.

As the holidays and award season start to kick up, fans really only have the movie to go to until retailers roll out more offerings for the surefire franchise hit in the making. You know there’s already clamoring for Halloween party screenings, New York Comic Con cosplay, and holiday fun that will see more Huntr/x and Saja Boys love, so these numbers are sure to continue to keep going up, up, up. It’s their moment.
