Streaming giant’s animated sensation demolishes competition with just 48 hours in theaters
HOLY MOLY! Netflix just pulled off the IMPOSSIBLE – their K-pop animated flick “K-Pop Demon Hunters” absolutely ANNIHILATED the North American box office this weekend, and here’s the kicker: IT WASN’T EVEN A REAL THEATRICAL RELEASE!
According to Variety, this Korean culture-fueled Sony Pictures Animation masterpiece raked in a jaw-dropping $18-20 million over the weekend, completely DESTROYING Warner Bros’ horror flick “Weapon” which managed a measly $15.6 million in its THIRD WEEK of wide release!
THE MOST INSANE PART? Netflix only screened this baby for TWO DAYS as a “sing-along” special event – and fans went absolutely BONKERS! Over 1,700 theaters participated, with more than 1,000 screenings selling out COMPLETELY!
Industry insiders are calling this a “SEISMIC SHIFT” in how streaming content can dominate traditional Hollywood. Bloomberg called it Netflix’s “rare theatrical triumph” – and that’s putting it MILDLY!
FANS ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS! David A. Gross from Franchise Entertainment Research said audiences were “singing, dancing, dressing up” and going “completely wild” during the 48-hour event. He called it “the essence of pop entertainment” – and we’re HERE for it!
The New York Times even ran a headline screaming “K-Pop Demon Hunters Is Making Everyone’s Head Spin – Especially Parents!” Meanwhile, major outlets like WSJ, Time, Forbes, and The Hollywood Reporter are all scrambling to cover this CULTURAL PHENOMENON!
NETFLIX JUST CHANGED THE GAME FOREVER! Who needs a traditional theatrical release when you can OBLITERATE the competition with just a weekend event? LEGENDARY!
