Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters is set to make a comeback at the box office this weekend with its sing-along version premiering in theaters nationwide starting Friday, October 31. The highly successful animated musical film was originally released on Netflix in June and has since broken records as the most-streamed Netflix original movie of all time, racking up over 325 million views.
K-Pop Demon Hunters tells the story of three K-pop superstars who moonlight as demon hunters to protect their fans from supernatural threats. The voice cast, including Arden Cho, May Hong, and Ji-young Yoo, deliver powerful performances that captivated audiences worldwide. The film's success was evident during its initial theatrical run in August, where it earned $19.2 million at the domestic box office.
For this limited release, AMC Theatres has partnered with Netflix to show the sing-along version on 400 screens across North America and Europe. This marks a significant departure for the theatre chain, as they have traditionally not exhibited Netflix films in their theaters. According to an AMC spokesperson, the partnership represents a mutually beneficial opportunity between two companies that are "intrigued by the possibilities" of working together.
This weekend's box office will see K-Pop Demon Hunters competing against Emma Stone's alien invasion satire Bugonia, which is expanding to 1,800 theaters nationwide. While the total theater count for K-Pop Demon Hunters remains under wraps, it's clear that this sing-along version has already generated significant buzz among fans and critics alike.
As Halloween approaches, music lovers and horror enthusiasts are invited to join Rumi, Mira, Zoey, Jinu, Celine, Healer, Bobby, and Gwi-Ma on a thrilling adventure. Don't miss your chance to belt out the catchy tunes and experience the epic battle between K-pop superstars-turned-demon-hunters and their arch-nemesis in theaters this weekend.
