K-Pop Demon Hunters Sing-Along Returns to Theaters
It’s wonderful to see a film that’s already captured so many hearts back on the big screen, and this time, with a fun twist. The KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along event is returning for a limited engagement, and honestly, it feels like a perfect way to shake off the everyday and embrace a bit of Halloween magic, even if it stretches into early November. For three days, from October 31st through November 2nd, you can head to AMC, Regal, or Cinemark theaters across the US and Canada, and even in select international locations, to catch this animated adventure on the big screen.
It’s fascinating how this film, which has become Netflix's most popular movie ever, is making its way back to theaters. As reported by Variety, the initial theatrical run for the sing-along edition, which was only for two days, still managed an impressive $18 million. Now, it’s expanding its reach to around 400 AMC locations globally, alongside Regal and Cinemark. This collaboration between Netflix and AMC is particularly noteworthy, given their historically different approaches to theatrical releases. The fact that they’re teaming up on KPop Demon Hunters suggests a mutual interest in exploring opportunities that benefit both sides, which is a hopeful sign for the future of how we experience movies.
Beyond the theatrical release, the film's soundtrack has been a runaway success, with songs like Golden, Soda Pop, and Takedown climbing the Billboard charts. You might have even caught the incredible vocalists behind HUNTR/X – EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, and REI AMI – performing live on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It’s truly remarkable that the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has gone platinum and garnered over 7 billion global streams.
What’s really special about this sing-along event, though, is the invitation to fully immerse yourself. The sources mention that costumes are not just encouraged, they're practically expected. Whether you channel your inner Demon Hunter with officially licensed gear or simply come as your favorite character, it’s an opportunity to show your fandom. They’ve even released lyric videos so you can practice your favorite tunes at home before the big event. It makes you wonder, with such a strong connection forged through music and storytelling, what other cinematic universes might benefit from this kind of interactive theatrical revival?
