Netflix's 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' on the Brink of 300 Million Views Milestone
'K-Pop Demon Hunters' is rapidly approaching Netflix's first-ever 300 million view milestone, solidifying its position as the streamer's most-watched title ever.
As of September 10th (local time), according to Netflix's official Tudum site, the animated film has accumulated a total of 291.5 million views. Last week, it already surpassed 'Squid Game' Season 1 and 'Wednesday' Season 1 to claim the all-time No. 1 spot on Netflix's cumulative viewership chart, adding an additional 25.4 million views since.
The film's official count will continue until September 19th, marking 91 days since its release on June 20th. The key question remains: can it reach the 300 million mark before the deadline?
While its momentum has slightly eased, dropping from No. 1 to No. 2 on the weekly global Top 10 Films chart for September 1-7, the soundtrack, featuring hits like 'Golden' and 'Soda Pop,' continues to fuel its worldwide popularity and keep the global phenomenon alive.

The film has been lauded for its seamless blend of K-pop, idol culture, and Korean folklore, sparking a cultural wave that extends beyond animation. Its OST song 'Golden' remains a fixture on the Billboard Hot 100, further testament to the project's far-reaching impact.
