‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Is Netflix’s Most Watched Movie (or Show) Ever — and It’s Not Close

Описание: ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Is Netflix’s Most Watched Movie (or Show) Ever — and It’s Not Close
In five previous semiannual data releases dating back to 2023, no Netflix movie or series had recorded more than 165 million views in six months. Then KPop Demon Hunters came along.

The animated smash, which already sits atop Netflix’s all-time movie rankings (which are measured over a title’s first 13 weeks of release), accumulated a ridiculous 481.6 million views worldwide in the second half of 2025. That is far and away the most views (calculated as total hours watched divided by running time) in a six-month period for any title, movie or series, ever on Netflix. (All figures in this story are based on the company’s first-party data unless otherwise noted.)



How much bigger has KPop Demon Hunters been than every other title? Well, its July-December view total beats the combined tally of the past three movies to lead Netflix’s semiannual charts: Back in Action (164.7 million views) for the first half of 2025, Carry-On (137.3 million) for the second half of 2024 and Damsel (143.8 million) for the first half of 2024. Those three total 445.8 million views worldwide, still 35.8 million views short of KPop Demon Hunters in the back half of last year.

KPop Demon Hunters had more than 3 1/2 times as many views as Happy Gilmore 2, which ranked second on Netflix’s list of films for July through December. That’s as big a gap as between Happy Gilmore 2 and the No. 29 movie on the list, Paw Patrol: The Movie (37.9 million views).
