Netflix’s hit film, KPop Demon Hunters, is heading back to select theaters for a limited sing-along run over Halloween weekend. This follows a successful initial theatrical release in August, where the movie earned an estimated $18 million domestically.
The Film’s Success and Re-Release
KPop Demon Hunters, which premiered on Netflix in June, quickly became the platform’s most-watched movie. The plot centers on the girl group HUNTR/X – Rumi, Mira, and Zoey – who secretly battle demons alongside their pop stardom. Their rivals, the Saja Boys, add supernatural stakes to the already catchy musical numbers. The film’s success is driven by its blend of K-Pop aesthetics and action-horror, making it a unique draw for audiences.
How to Secure Tickets
Sing-along screenings are scheduled for October 31st, November 1st, and November 2nd in the US and Canada. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, October 17th, at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT. Fans can purchase tickets and find participating theaters through the official SingKPopDemonHunters.com website.
Why This Matters
The re-release signals a growing trend of streaming services leveraging theatrical runs to boost engagement for their most popular titles. KPop Demon Hunters ’ success proves that even streaming-first films can draw crowds to cinemas, particularly with interactive formats like sing-alongs. This could influence how other platforms approach distribution in the future, balancing digital accessibility with the communal experience of movie theaters.
The demand for this film is high. If its songs have dominated your playlists – like “Golden” topping Billboard’s Hot 100 – or if you have Halloween costumes ready, securing tickets quickly is advised.
