Netflix's Biggest Fantasy Hit Has Made History In Light Of Streaming Dominance
Image
Netflix's summer sensation has just pulled off something no other movie on the service has ever done. Though the biggest titles to come from the streaming platform this year are on the television side, with new seasons of Wednesday and Stranger Things on the way, Netflix has plenty of major movies too.

So far this year, the streamer has found success with projects like Back in Action,Havoc, and Straw. Even if they weren't all critical darlings, they certainly garnered substantial viewership upon premiering. Still ahead on Netflix's calendar are major titles like Happy Gilmore 2, Wake Up Dead Man, and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

Amid a number of buzzy, celebrity-driven releases, there is one Netflix movie that has become a surprise hit, and its success just keeps growing. Now, in its fifth week of release, it has achieved something very special.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Review (Netflix)
Image
Features the voices of: Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo | Written and Directed by Chris Appelhans, Maggie Kang

When it comes to film titles, conversations are often shared about misleading examples. For instance, Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur is nothing like one would expect from the title alone. A fascinating conversation can be had about the inverse, where a title tells you everything that you need to know about the film. In that regard, KPop Demon Hunters is a film that does exactly what it says on the tin.

The story follows K-Pop superstars Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong) and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo). As the girl group, Huntr/x, they sell out stadiums and perform to their legions of fans. Behind the scenes, the trio fight demons to protect humanity, with their growing fandom invigorating the group’s abilities.

In order to stop the demons, Huntr/x’s...

Disney Cancels New Animated Movie After ‘Strange World’ and ‘Wish’ Flop Big at the Box Office
Image
Disney recently made a surprising move by canceling an original animated movie about a Persian princess that was supposed to come out in 2024. The reason? The poor box office performances of their two latest original animated films, Strange World and Wish.

Both Strange World and Wish were expected to do well but ended up disappointing. Wish earned around $255 million worldwide but had a $200 million budget, which is low compared to hits like Moana and Zootopia. Strange World also struggled to make a strong impact.

These two flops made Disney rethink its plans for new original animated movies.

Industry insiders say Disney quietly removed the Persian princess project from its release calendar. Instead of taking a chance on a new original film, the company is focusing more on sequels and franchises. For example, the Moana sequel, which has already earned over $1 billion worldwide, is now a priority.

This isn’t just about Disney.

Disney Reportedly Canceled Animated Movie After ‘Strange World’ and ‘Wish’ Massively Flopped
Image
Two recent Disney movies, Strange World and Wish, both original animated films, did poorly at the box office, leading to big changes in Disney’s plans for new movies. Because these films flopped, Disney reportedly canceled a new animated movie about a Persian princess that was supposed to come out in 2024.

Strange World and Wish were highly anticipated, but neither met expectations. Wish earned about $255 million worldwide against a $200 million budget, which is much less than Disney’s past hits like Moana and Zootopia.

Meanwhile, Strange World also struggled, and together, these disappointing results made Disney rethink its approach to original animated films.

According to industry sources, Disney quietly pulled the Persian princess movie off the schedule. Instead of taking a risk on another original film, the studio shifted focus to projects connected to successful franchises, like a Moana sequel, which recently made over $1 billion at the global box office.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Built a Soundtrack to Slay Global Pop Charts
Image
In Netflix’s original animated musical film “KPop Demon Hunters,” the trio that make up fictional K-pop band Huntr/x — Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) — rule the pop charts when they’re not working in their true calling as demon hunters. Worlds collide, though, when the Saja Boys, a new, competing boy band, reveal themselves to also be demons, with the girls being the only hope to take them down.

But this film, from directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, knows something about taking out the competition since that’s what it’s been doing since it premiered on June 20 on the streamer. Based on Netflix’s data for the week ending July 13, “KPop Demon Hunters” has spent four weeks in the Netflix Global Top 10 (English) with 40,400,000 hours viewed and just reclaimed the #1 spot after being bumped from #1 to #2 last week by the release of...

Original Animated Movies Aren’t Dead, They’ve Just Moved to Streaming | Analysis
Image
On June 20, two big, original animated movies were released, with two extremely different responses.

“Elio,” which follows a lonely little boy who dreams of getting abducted by aliens, arrived in theaters more than a year after it was initially supposed to be released, with warm reviews. It ultimately debuted to $20.8 million, the lowest opening weekend for a Pixar movie in history and has amassed a little more than $96 million worldwide.

Then there was “Kpop Demon Hunters,” produced by Sony Pictures Animation and released via Netflix, an ingenious genre mash-up, inspired by “Sailor Moon” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” It’s a full-on musical and features some of the best songs you’ll hear all year. It was a huge critical hit and did just as well commercially – was #1 on Netflix in America and was in the top 10 in all countries, with an additional 22.7 million views in its second weekend.

‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ Review: Netflix’s Breakout Hit is a Total Crowdpleaser
Image
One year after “Brat Summer,” Chappell Roan’s rise to stardom, and a full six-month period where the lyrics “That’s that me espresso” were stuck in every American’s head, 2025 pop music has proven disappointingly ordinary. With the charts staler than ever and little new releases to enjoy on the horizon, pop excellence has to be found in unconventional places.

Enter: Huntr/x, a K-pop trio with banging leather outfits and a likable lineup that slots into the classic “Powerpuff Girls” mold: there’s the childish and sweet “Bubbles” type Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), the tough and sarcastic “Buttercup” type Mira (May Hong), and the “Blossom”-esque earnest type-a leader Rumi (Arden Cho). Since June, the group has blown up in America with an album at No. 3 on Billboard and a hit single climbing up the Hot 100. It’s a particularly impressive feat for a group that isn’t actually “real,...

KPop Demon Hunters (2025): Full Breakdown of Every Song from Netflix’s Animated Musical Fantasy
Ji-young Yoo, Ejae Kim, Arden Cho, and May Hong in KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
What if saving the world wasn’t just about bravery or brute force—but about harmonizing perfectly timed choreography with razor-sharp swordplay? That’s the high-concept hook of Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, an animated musical fantasy that blends the glitz of K-pop stardom with the grit of supernatural warfare. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the film follows Huntr/X—a fierce, all-girl K-pop trio who moonlight as demon slayers. While their battles unfold in dazzling animation, it’s the film’s music that truly commands attention. With explosive tracks by real-world icons like Twice, edgy experimentalists like Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, and seasoned producers including Lindgren, Jenna Andrews, and Stephen Kirk, the 12-song soundtrack in KPop Demon Hunters (2025) doesn’t just support the story—it drives it. Each track functions as a narrative beat, revealing character arcs, emotional stakes, and the pulse of a world where glamour masks danger.

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Cannot Be Stopped on the Charts
Image
The love for KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix’s latest animated film, and its soundtrack, only seems to be growing.

Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, Demon Hunters follows Huntrix members Rumi, Mira and Zoey as they perform undeniably catchy K-pop tracks by day and battle demons by night. The girls spend the film facing off against a newly formed boy band, Saja Boys, a group of secret demons who are using their popularity to steal souls.

The movie, which returned to the top of Netflix’s U.S. movie top 10, has perhaps found its biggest impact in the form of its soundtrack. The compilation of mostly original songs has taken real-world music charts by storm.

The song’s lead single, “Golden,” sung by the girl group Huntrix (Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami), hit No. 1 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global Chart on Thursday — it remained in the top spot in the U.

Netflix’s ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Is Catchy as Hell and Quickly Becoming a Global Sensation
Image
The number one movie streaming on Netflix in the US currently isn’t new release The Old Guard 2, but a high-concept animated feature that’s been steadily climbing the rankings since its June 20 debut. If that’s not indicator enough that the Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters is quickly becoming a global smash hit, the movie’s soundtrack is steadily surging on the Billboard Global 200. The film is also in high demand from game developers eager for a collab. Merch? You bet.

And it’s easy to see why KPop Demon Hunters is fast becoming a global sensation; it’s catchy as hell.

The latest team-up between Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation (Academy Award-nominated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) introduces Huntrix, a mega-popular K-pop trio eager for global domination to achieve one central goal: ridding the world of demons.

Animated Hit ‘K-Pop: Demon Hunters’ Sets Spotify, Billboard Milestones
Ji-young Yoo, Ejae Kim, Arden Cho, and May Hong in KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
Netflix’s animated musical K-Pop: Demon Hunters is rewriting streaming and music-industry records less than three weeks after its 20 June debut, and the company has already entered its anthem “Golden” for Oscar and Grammy consideration.

The film’s fictional boy band, the Saja Boys, reached No. 2 on Spotify’s U.S. chart with “Your Idol,” edging past the 2020 peak of BTS’s “Dynamite,” while Huntr/x’s “Golden” tied Blackpink’s U.S. best at No. 3. Entertainment Weekly notes that both groups now rank alongside heavyweight pop acts on global playlists, fuelling viral fan art and dance challenges across social platforms.

The momentum extends to album metrics: the soundtrack opened at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 31 000 equivalent units, the strongest debut for any 2025 soundtrack and the highest for an animated release since Across the Spider-Verse in 2023. Spanish outlet Los40 adds that it simultaneously topped Billboard’s Top Soundtracks tally and...

“Golden” Moment: How ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Created the Year’s Catchiest Soundtrack
Image
It was a night K-Pop fans around the world wouldn’t forget: Superstar groups Huntrix and Saja Boys would go head to head at this year’s International Idol Awards.

There was only one catch: the International Idol Awards aren’t real — and neither are those groups. Both groups can be seen in Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, a slick animated feature that chronicles the adventures of Huntrix, a girl group comprised of three members who just happen to also fight monsters from the underworld. While the film has become the streamers latest surprise hit, even more surprising is the fact that its soundtrack has taken the real-world internet, and music charts, by storm.

Netflix's New Chart-Topping Movie Proves Animation Can Still Thrive

Let's not sugarcoat it -- original animation is in a bit of a rough spot these days. Between the gut-punch cancellation of the Emmy Award-winning "The Tiny Chef Show," Pixar's "Elio" floundering at the box office opening weekend (I'm still hoping for an "Elemental" comeback narrative), the endless parade of live-action remakes hollowing out the animated classics we grew up on, and Max removing the original episodes of "The Looney Tunes" for some godforsaken reason, things are looking, well ... bleak! But among the internet thinkpieces and the "Rip Original Animation" hashtags, the sky-is-falling hysteria is wildly premature. Case in point: "KPop Demon Hunters" is out here absolutely thriving, and it's not playing by anyone's dusty old rules.

Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters Accidentally Mirrors Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts

What happens when an animation power couple unintentionally creates two of the most beloved, genre-bending titles on Netflix? It’s rare for a couple to each lead their own hit animated projects, but it’s even rarer for both to top Netflix‘s charts at the same time. That’s exactly what’s happened with K-Pop Demon Hunters and Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts. Both are riding high on ratings, despite releasing in different years.

These two genre-defying stories have different tones but also have striking similarities. The parallels are impossible to ignore. And yes, they are created by animation power couple Radford Sechrist and Maggie Kang. They’re lighting up the streaming world with style.

K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix Reminded Me of Michelle Yeoh’s Absurd Role
Image
K-Pop Demon Hunters broke records with its debut on Netflix. Produced in collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation and directed by Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang, the movie combines the gleaming energy of K-pop with supernatural demon-slaying action.

The film features Huntrix- a demon-slaying musical girl-group facing off against the Saja Boys, a rival band who are using demonic powers to serve the Demon King Gwi-Ma. The movie is doing brilliantly on Netflix, with incredible reviews.

Among the girl group, Rumi stands out as she’s harboring a secret in shame: she’s half demon. Rumi tries her best to conceal the truth, as that’s what she’s always been taught. Her eventual transformation into a demon without being weighed down by guilt or shame surreally resembles a touching arc in Michelle Yeoh’s Everything Everywhere All at Once.

John Cho’s Forgettable 71%-Rated Film Became the Petty Reason Behind KPop Demon Hunters’ Delay

Netflix’s animated musical KPop Demon Hunters has been the newest obsession of anime and K-pop stans. The film took a bold step of developing into a more mature action film that was neatly sewn together with bright colors, addictive music, and dance moves that resonated with the bubbly characters. Thus, it became the ultimate animated supernatural film that has left everyone impressed.

Amidst the claps and praises, the project was immensely delayed by Wish Dragon, another animated flick featuring the big guns of Hollywood. The voice-acting cast featured stars like Jackie Chan, John Cho, Jimmy Wong, and many more.

However, the star-studded cast was not good enough because Chris Appelhans, the director of the 2021 movie, states how the film was plagued with complex issues that ensured that the project had to be a hit.

Kpop Demon Hunters (2025) Movie Review & Ending Explained: How is Gwi-Ma Defeated?
Image
It’s strictly on you whether you find the overall pretext compelling or not, but Gen Z builds its tastes—music, movies, trends, shows—on a bedrock of artifice. There’s real work involved, sure, but it’s often laced with plasticity and schmaltz that feels inescapable. In that sense, “KPop Demon Hunters” aligns all too well with how Netflix (generally) approaches cinema lately: break the mold of originality just enough to create the illusion of rebellion, while actually cementing one aesthetic. Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, teaming up with Sony Pictures to realize their “2D aesthetics with three-dimensional language” vision, seem to surrender to that machine—only to rewire it from within. “KPop Demon Hunters” emerges original, entertaining, and surprisingly relevant, not by resisting its constraints, but by slyly redirecting them.

KPop Demon Hunters 2 Sequel Movie Chances Get Addressed by Directors: 'So Many Possibilities'

KPop Demon Hunters directors Chris Appelhans and Maggie Kang addressed the potential sequel of the Netflix animated movie in a new interview. The much-talked-about film delivered an incredible story that followed a Korean pop trio known as Huntrix, who are secretly demon hunters tasked with protecting humanity from the demon king, Gwi-Ma. However, the leading trio's resolve was tested due to the arrival of a rival boy band, Saja Boys, who are actually demons working for Gwi-Ma. 

KPop Demon Hunters involved many twists and turns, and one of them included the big reveal that Rumi is a half-demon. This revelation almost destroyed her bond with the rest of Huntrix since Rumi was almost swayed to the side of the demons due to her heritage. Despite that, good triumphed over evil, with Rumi reuniting with Mira and Zoey to put an end to Gwi-Ma's reign of terror. While Kpop Demon Hunters ended on a happy note,...

‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ Review: High-Concept Toon Is as Catchy as the Korean Music Phenom That Inspired It
Image
In K-pop, the fans come first, or so catchy South Korean music acts are constantly telling the legions of dedicated followers who have propelled them to international stardom. If it weren’t for the fans, boy band BTS couldn’t possibly have filled SoFi Stadium four times over, and Blackpink would never have been invited to headline Coachella — nor would there be any reason to greenlight a movie like “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”

The title says it all in the high-energy, high-concept supernatural action comedy from Sony Pictures Animation, the versatile toon studio responsible for “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “The Mitchells vs. the Machines”: Three ultra-talented supernatural protectors use their popularity as girl band superstars to defend the mortal world from demon king Gwi-Ma (Byung Hun Lee).

Known to the world as Huntrix, rebellious woldo-wielding Mira (May Hong), Burbank-raised rapper Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) and purple-braided orphan Rumi (Arden Cho...

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Finds Music That Slays (Monsters)
Image
For first-time director Maggie Kang (head of story on “The Lego Ninjago Movie”), “KPop: Demon Hunters” represents the fulfillment of a 20-year desire to make an animated movie about Korean culture. But what began as an exploration of demonology evolved into an explosive mashup of action and K-pop.

The Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation film follows the popular K-pop group Huntrix, comprised of Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who lead double lives as demon hunters. Up against the supernatural force of demons controlled by the fiery Gwi-Ma (Byung-hun Lee), the Huntrix suddenly find themselves competing with a boy band called Saja Boys, who are secret demons led by Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop). There’s even a spicy twist that connects Jinu and Rumi that’s worthy of any K-drama and allows “KPop Demon Hunters” to tackle questions of dual identities and dark sides.

Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters' Slays Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Image
Netflix's newest fantasy action movie hit the streaming service today, and if its Rotten Tomatoes score is any indication, it's definitely one that's worth your time this weekend – especially if you enjoyed the animation style of the Spider-Verse movies. Titled KPop Demon Hunters, the Sony animated release is a big hit with critics, as is evident by its 92% rating. Some have even gone so far as to call it "one of the most visually interesting movies of 2025."

Perhaps the best part of all is that you don't have to be a fan of K-pop music to enjoy this one; you just have to be a fan of great storytelling and animation. That's according to critic Wendy Lee Szany from The Movie Couple, who said, "Whether or not you're a K-Pop fan, you will be entertained." She would go on to add that it's filled with "great animation, characters, music,...

Netflix's New Fantasy Adventure Movie With Squid Game Star Debuts With Strong Rotten Tomatoes Score
Image
A new Netflix movie starring one of the leads of Squid Game is doing well on Rotten Tomatoes. The South Korean survival thriller Squid Game is one of the streaming service's biggest original series of all time, with season 1's 256.2 million views making it the most-watched season on the platform and season 2's 192.6 million making it the third most-watched. The series, which was created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, follows a group of adults competing in deadly children's games for a big cash prize.

Because most of the core characters were killed over the course of season 1, there are very few members of the Squid Game cast who have appeared in both seasons. These core stars include Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun (Player 456), Wi Ha-joon as Detective Hwang Jun-ho, and Lee Byung-hun as Hwang In-ho (The Front Man). All three stars are also set to appear in the upcoming season 3, which is set to conclude the series.
