The Biggest Netflix Movie Ever Is Coming Back to Cinemas This Halloween Despite Still Dominating Streaming

by

I can’t believe it, but after almost four months, is *still* in the Top 5! It’s seriously showing no signs of slowing down. And now, The Wrap is reporting that we get to experience it all over again! They’re bringing a Sing-Along version back to theaters from October 31st to November 2nd. Perfect for anyone who missed it the first time, or like me, just wants to go sing their heart out all over again!

Netflix rarely releases movies in theaters, but they’ve started doing limited releases for some of their bigger films before they stream online—like they’re planning to do with the new *Knives Out* sequel. However, they’ve never re-released a movie in theaters months after it was already available on Netflix. Now, *KPop Demon Hunters* is breaking that pattern.

Since its debut in June, *KPop Demon Hunters* has become incredibly popular, racking up over 500 million hours of viewing time. It’s now the most-watched original movie ever released on the platform, even surpassing Dwayne Johnson’s *Red Notice*. The film’s soundtrack has also been a huge success, topping the Billboard charts for weeks and landing four songs in the Top 10 simultaneously. Plus, with a reported $40 million earned in theaters during its brief release in August, *KPop Demon Hunters* has truly become a cultural phenomenon.

The re-release of *KPop Demon Hunters* in theaters might give Netflix another potential number one weekend, though exact numbers aren’t publicly available. While films like *Bugonia* starring Emma Stone and Alicia Silverstone, *Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere*, and *A House of Dynamite* are also competing for the top spot, the popular musical fantasy presents a strong challenge, making their chances of success less certain.

‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ Should Have Been a Cinema Blockbuster

Netflix bringing *KPop Demon Hunters* back to cinemas for a second run is remarkable and shows just how popular the movie has become. It’s especially noteworthy for Sony Pictures, as the film had the potential to be one of the biggest hits of 2025 and even a major success for the entire decade.

Sony created the movie, but surprisingly sold it to Netflix, along with other films – a decision that remains unclear. It’s a similar mistake to those publishers who rejected the original *Harry Potter* manuscript, or the people who carelessly tossed a valuable 1977 *Star Wars* toy into a bin with other playthings. Now, bringing the film back to cinemas just feels like a further disappointment.

Everyone’s expecting KPop Demon Hunters to do well in theaters during Halloween weekend, and it’s almost certain to climb back to number one on Netflix after it’s released there again.
