KPop Demon Hunters has now spent 50 consecutive weeks inside Netflix's Top 10 English Movies list, a record no other title on the platform has matched. As of early June 2026, the animated fantasy musical from Sony Pictures Animation sits at number nine on that chart, slotted between Remarkably Bright Creatures and Guess Who. It has not left the Top 10 since its release on June 20, 2025.
According to a report by Collider, the film has also surpassed Red Notice to become the most-streamed movie in Netflix history, logging over 541 million viewed hours. Red Notice had previously held that record with 454 million watched hours.
The milestone puts KPop Demon Hunters in rare company on a platform that has hosted some of the most-watched content in streaming history. Netflix's all-time most-streamed show remains Wednesday Season 1, which has accumulated over 1.7 billion viewing hours since its 2022 release. Squid Game Season 1 holds the record for non-English shows with over 2.2 billion watched hours. The animated film now owns its own unique record, the longest unbroken Top 10 streak for any movie in the English-language category.
The premise of the film, which blends K-pop performance culture with demon-hunting fantasy, was not an obvious candidate for mainstream crossover success. The film was released without much expectation of dominating the platform for close to a year. Its staying power on the charts points to sustained audience engagement well beyond a typical opening-weekend spike.
The film's impact has extended beyond streaming metrics. Collider noted that KPop Demon Hunters has earned recognition in both the film and music industries since its debut, though specific award details were not outlined in full. What is clear is that almost a full year after its premiere, audiences continue to return to it in numbers large enough to keep it competitive against newer releases week after week.
No other Netflix movie, English-language or otherwise, has sustained a Top 10 presence for as long. The 50-week mark represents a benchmark the platform has not seen before, and the film shows no signs of dropping off soon.
