Before It Even Starts, KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Sparks Calls for More Theater Dates

By Trevor Decker | August 17, 2025 | Animation

KPop Demon Hunters has quickly become more than just a hit film—it’s a cultural wave that shows no signs of slowing down. Since premiering on Netflix earlier this summer, the animated musical about a fictional Kpop girl group doubling as demon hunters has captivated audiences around the world.

The film’s soundtrack has been at the center of the frenzy. The breakout single “Golden,” performed by Huntr/x, topped the Billboard Hot 100 and solidified the movie’s place in music history. Other tracks from the soundtrack have also surged across streaming platforms, fueling viral moments on TikTok and pushing KPop Demon Hunters into the spotlight as one of the year’s biggest entertainment successes.

In response to the popularity, Netflix announced a special sing-along event in theaters for August 23 and 24 across multiple countries, including the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Australia. Fans will have the opportunity to experience the songs in a whole new way—together, on the big screen.

But even before the event has begun, theaters are already calling for more. Ticket presales have been strong, with reports of early sell-outs in several locations. Exhibitors are urging Netflix to consider extending the sing-along beyond its initial two-day run, a sign of just how powerful the demand has become.

While no additional dates have been confirmed, the momentum mirrors previous audience-driven phenomena like The Greatest Showman and Encanto, where fans turned movie screenings into interactive celebrations. For KPop Demon Hunters, the enthusiasm surrounding the sing-along underscores how the film has struck a chord with both music and movie lovers alike.

As anticipation builds, the only question is whether Netflix will answer the call and give fans more chances to raise their voices in theaters.
