Box Office Surge
According to industry reports, KPop Demon Hunters is heading toward a surprise No. 1 position at the US box office.

About the Film
Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, KPop Demon Hunters follows Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) — three K-pop idols from the group HUNTR/X who inherit the duty of battling supernatural forces due to their demon-slayer lineage. Since its global release on June 20, the film has received widespread acclaim for blending K-pop culture with fantasy storytelling.
With both streaming and theatrical dominance, KPop Demon Hunters is proving to be a game-changer in the world of animated films.
