AFTER garnering 26 million views in just two months after its release, Netflix’s ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ breaks a record as the most-watched animated film.

The film was released on June 20 and has garnered popularity, ranking it at the top in 27 countries and earning a Top 10 spot in 93 countries.  

As of writing, K-Pop Demon Hunters still ranks 1 on Netflix’s Philippines Top 10. 

Its original soundtrack has also brought the film a huge success, with Golden by Huntr/x ranking no. 1 on the Billboard Global Charts and no. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
