SEOUL, Aug. 27 (Yonhap) -- The animated sensation "KPop Demon Hunters" has officially become Netflix's most-watched movie of all time.
The film has amassed 236 million views since its release on June 20, surpassing the previous record holder, the action-comedy "Red Notice," which had 230.9 million views, according to Netflix.
Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the Netflix original film centers on Huntr/x, who live a double life, balancing their music careers with their duties as warriors who protect the world from demonic spirits, like the overlord Gwi-Ma and the soul-stealing Saja Boys.
The film's soundtrack has also achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first ever to have four songs -- "Golden," "Your Idol," "Soda Pop" and "How It's Done" -- simultaneously in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Capitalizing on its immense popularity, a theatrical sing-along version of the film was released for a limited time in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
This offline event was a massive success, grossing an estimated US$18 million over the weekend and topping the U.S. box office, according to Box Office Mojo.
