The sing-along version of Kpop Demon Hunters played in over 2100 theaters around the world over the weekend — and, according to Netflix, it sold out 1300 screenings in the U.S. and Canada. (I attended a press screening that was not sold out — but was very boisterous, and I heard from a few people who work at movie theaters that they had heavily attended screenings all weekend, so I can believe that number.) If you missed it in theaters, or it wasn’t playing anywhere near you, or you just thought “Eh it’s Netflix, it’ll be streaming there eventually” … well, you were right on the money.
Netflix announced that the sing-along cut of Kpop Demon Hunters will be available on Netflix starting tomorrow.

The film, about a K-pop girl group who moonlight as heroic warriors battling demons from another dimension, has become a legitimate pop culture phenomenon since its premiere on Netflix earlier this summer. It’s already one of the most-watched movies in Netflix history and the soundtrack has been streamed over 3 billion times to date, with the song “Golden” becoming a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
More importantly, my children want to be Huntr/x members for Halloween but there are no legit KDH Halloween costumes anywhere. Netflix, you need to make this right and fast. Otherwise, you better get ready for a takedown from legions of angry kids who want to dress like Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. It’s gonna get ugly.
Kpop Demon Hunters’ sing-along version hits Netflix streaming tomorrow, August 25. Invite a bunch of friends over, get a boat load of soda pop, and have yourself a time.
