Netflix‘s new smash hit with a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score has become the streaming service’s second most-watched movie in history. Since 2021, Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time has been Red Notice, sitting at 230.9 million views. However, the star-studded action-comedy featuring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot could be unseated by Netflix’s new smash hit very soon.
Some of Netflix’s most-watched movies of all time also include Carry-On (2024), an action thriller starring Taron Egerton, and Don’t Look Up (2021), Adam McKay’s star-studded political satire featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, and many more. Another Ryan Reynolds vehicle, The Adam Project (2022), also ranks within the top five.
Sandra Bullock’s post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box (2018) still holds a place in the top 10, alongside newer sensations like Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz’s action-comedy Back in Action (2025) and Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmai’s star-studded apocalyptic thriller Leave the World Behind (2023), featuring Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon. Now, Netflix’s new smash hit is climbing further up the list.
KPop Demon Hunters Becomes Netflix’s 2nd Most-Watched Movie Of All Time
KPop Demon Hunters has become Netflix’s second most-watched movie of all time. Netflix’s animated musical follows the fictional K-pop girl group called HUNTR/X, who lead double lives as demon hunters, as they face off against a rival band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons in disguise.
KPop Demon Hunters‘ cast includes the voices of Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Joel Kim Booster, Alan Lee, SungWon Cho, Danny Chung, Liza Koshy, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, and Lee Byung-hun.
After another week on the streaming service, KPop Demon Hunters now ranks second on Netflix’s Top 10 most popular movies of all time with 184.6 million views globally, ranking behind Red Notice‘s 230.9 million.
For the week of August 4–10, KPop Demon Hunters ranked second yet again on Netflix’s global Top 10 movies with another 25.9 million views, ranking below My Oxford Year. It finished above Happy Gilmore 2, Megamind, Gladiator II, Freelance, H๏τel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Coach Carter, and Kandahar.
What This Means For KPop Demon Hunters
Week after week, KPop Demon Hunters has captivated audiences worldwide and currently shows no signs of slowing down, seemingly destined to become Netflix’s most-popular movie of all time. The animated musical has racked up at least 20 million views per week for the past eight weeks since its release on June 20.
KPop Demon Hunters needs about 46.3 million more views to surpᴀss Red Notice, and if it continues performing at the rate it has, it could become Netflix’s most-watched movie of all time in two more weeks, or three at the absolute latest.
