On a slow end-of-summer weekend that has been left by the legacy studios to specialty distributors, Netflix is set to do something it has never done before with its first No. 1 at the box office, all thanks to Sony Pictures Animation's "K-Pop Demon Hunters" As the original animated action musical stands on the verge of passing "Red Notice" as the streamer's most-watched film ever with 210 million views and counting,

A limited, singalong release of the animated phenomenon showed streaming success can also bring fans to theaters.

A singalong version of the Netflix animated film “KPop Demon Hunters” is on-track to earn $18 million to $20 million in theaters this weekend, making it the number one movie at the domestic box office. And that’s despite only being in theaters for two-thirds of the weekend (namely, Saturday and Sunday).
