'KPop Demon Hunters' Tops North American Box Office with $18M

  • Netflix brought 'Kpop Demon Hunters' to theaters for a limited two-day sing-along event in August 2025, topping the North American box office.
  • This event followed the film’s initial Netflix release in June 2025, when it became the second-most streamed film ever on the platform.
  • 'Kpop Demon Hunters' played on about 1,700 screens and generated an estimated $18 million to $20 million, surpassing the competing horror film 'Weapons'.
  • Analyst David A. Gross noted that a streaming release intended for at-home audiences is resonating in a way that most theatrical blockbusters do not often achieve.
  • The film’s strong performance during a typically slow weekend demonstrates how specialized events can boost attendance, even as summer ticket sales show a modest increase compared to last year but are still expected to fall short of reaching $4 billion in total revenue.
