New Netflix Record Smashed: Latest Hit Movie Stays in Top 10 for 15 Weeks Straight

by

“KPop Demon Hunters” is still incredibly popular on Netflix, consistently achieving record viewership and demonstrating no indication of losing momentum.

The animated musical fantasy film from Sony Pictures Animation has been on Netflix’s Top 10 list for English-language movies for 15 weeks in a row. This makes it the film that has stayed on the list the longest in that category.

Before this, “Red Notice” had the longest run on the chart, appearing for a total of 14 weeks. However, it was on the chart for 12 weeks straight initially, with a short return appearance later on.

KPop Demon Hunters has been at the top spot for eight weeks out of the past fifteen, and held the number two position for the other seven weeks.

The film has consistently remained in the top two positions, and it achieved 19.3 million views in just its 15th week. This is nearly twice the number of views earned by the film in second place, “Ruth & Boaz,” which premiered with 10.3 million views. This demonstrates its continued popularity and strong performance.

As a big fan, I’ve been keeping up with everything about this movie, and both directors, Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, have dropped some exciting hints. They’ve both suggested that there’s a real possibility we could see more of this story explored in the future. I’m really hoping they do! It’s a world I definitely want to revisit.

Kang shared with Screen Rant that there’s still a lot of potential for the film’s world, particularly in developing the histories of characters like Mira and Zoey. Appelhans further explained to People that the story leaves many questions unanswered and opens up numerous possibilities for future stories.

According to the current deal between Sony and Netflix, any future seasons of “KPop Demon Hunters” will stream exclusively on Netflix. Matthew Belloni of Puck pointed out that Sony has the rights to make more of the show, but it’s unlikely they will be released in cinemas. Sony still controls the production of sequels, despite the streaming arrangement.

Netflix is looking into several potential follow-up projects, such as two sequels, a TV series, a short film, and a stage musical. More details are expected soon. This indicates strong confidence in the original project’s success.

Dan Lin, who leads Netflix Films, shared with Newsweek that the company is “eager to see what happens next” with the story of the demon hunters. Lin stressed that it’s crucial to maintain the original movie’s distinctive look and narrative if they decide to make more films. He highlighted the importance of preserving the unique style and story in any future projects.

Discussions are reportedly happening to get Kang and Appelhans back for another project. The Hollywood Reporter said in August that Sony is discussing with Netflix the possibility of making an animated sequel.

People are really excited for the next stories from the world of “KPop Demon Hunters,” which has become a popular and successful animated series on Netflix.

The ongoing popularity of “KPop Demon Hunters” demonstrates how impactful fresh stories can be on streaming services. The film’s blend of music, action, and well-developed characters has clearly resonated with viewers. It will be interesting to watch how Netflix and Sony build upon this world while preserving what made the initial film so special.
