Since its release, K-Pop Demon Hunters has become Netflix’s most-watched animated film and currently ranks as the platform’s fourth most-watched film of all time. Over the weekend, the sing-along version of the animated film was released in 2,180 theatres across the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Two months after dropping “KPop Demon Hunters” on Netflix, the streamer is putting the animated hit in theaters — and not just the cursory Oscar-qualifying run its prestige titles get in New York and Los Angeles.
