What is Netflix's biggest movie ever? This is what it sounds like. The streaming platform announced on Wednesday (Aug 27) that global sensation KPop Demon Hunters is officially its most-watched movie ever, garnering 236 million views since its release on Jun 20.
With this, KPop Demon Hunters has unseated the previous record-holder, the 2021 action-comedy Red Notice starring Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds.
In comparison, Netflix's most-watched English show (based on total views in the first 91 days of release) is the first season of the Jenna Ortega-led series Wednesday, with 252.1 million views, while its most-watched non-English show is the first season of Squid Game with 262.2 million views.
However, KPop Demon Hunters still has a few weeks to go before hitting the 91-day mark.
KPop Demon Hunters follows the popular K-pop girl group Huntr/x, a trio comprising Rumi, Mira and Zoey who are secretly moonlighting as demon hunters to keep the world safe.
The trio face their toughest challenge yet after a few demons band together to form a boy group called the Saja Boys.
Since its release, KPop Demon Hunters has set and shattered numerous records.
Its soundtrack, which also includes a cover by Twice members Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung, has topped numerous charts worldwide – with the song Golden becoming the first song by a girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart since Destiny's Child.
