The number recorded there is 325.1 million views. In its best lists, Netflix only refers to the first 91 days online. However, the animated film is still in the top ten most streamed (English-language) films every week. If you add up all the viewing numbers from the past 46 weeks, you now get around 617 million views.

The fantasy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation was released on June 20, 2025. It’s about the K-pop girl group Huntrix (also spelled Huntr/X): The three young women lead a double life as pop stars and demon hunters. Suddenly they have competition from a boy band. But their boys are demons that need to be fought.
The hit “Golden” from the film is still in the charts
Netflix differentiates between films and series in its best lists and divides them into English and non-English formats – so there are four lists.
In terms of the number of views, “KPop Demon Hunters” is by far ahead of all other formats, including the most successful series “Squid Game” (this refers to season 1 of 2021, for which 265.2 million views were counted in the first 91 days).
The song “Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters” was Germany’s official summer hit of 2025. It was at number one in the single charts in this country for nine weeks. He is still placed there, most recently he was in ninth place.
Netflix claims to have more than 300 million subscribers worldwide. (sda/dpa)
