The seemingly untouchable record held by Dwayne Johnson’s “Red Notice” has finally been broken. The new king of Netflix is “KPop Demon Hunters,” an animated musical that has taken the crown as the platform’s most-watched film ever.
“KPop Demon Hunters” stormed the charts, securing 236 million views, a figure that edges out the 231 million accumulated by “Red Notice.” This shift at the top of the all-time list marks a significant moment, proving that animated features can compete with and even surpass the biggest live-action films.
The anime tells the story of the girl group Huntr/x, who balance their pop careers with a secret life hunting demons. The film has been a massive critical and commercial success, earning praise for its creative story and stunning visuals.
While “Red Notice” still holds an edge in total minutes watched due to its longer runtime, the loss of the top spot in views is a major development. With a sequel to “KPop Demon Hunters” confirmed, the animated hit is poised to extend its reign.
