The original film arrived mainly on streaming. The follow-up is headed for cinemas around the world on a much larger scale.<\/p>\n<p>Sarandos explained that theatrical releases need strong financial potential to justify their possible impact on Netflix&#8217;s streaming performance. Alongside the sequel, he pointed to Greta Gerwig&#8217;s <strong>Narnia<\/strong> as another title getting a wide theatrical push.<\/p>\n<p>Released in June 2025, KPop Demon Hunters follows <strong>Huntrix<\/strong>, a K-pop girl group whose members secretly protect the world from supernatural threats while living glamorous lives as music stars. The film became a global phenomenon. It passed 300 million views in its first 90 days and topped Netflix&#8217;s all-time most-watched movies list.<\/p>\n<p>It also showed its box-office pull. In August 2025, a sing-along version played in cinemas across several countries, including the <strong>United States<\/strong>, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. It reportedly sold out more than 1,300 screenings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u201cGolden\u201d Official Lyric Video | KPop Demon Hunters | Sony Animation\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yebNIHKAC4A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With the <strong>sequel<\/strong> still a few years away, fans have time to rewatch.
