Kpop Demon Hunters is still hanging around Netflix in a way most movies never do. The June 2025 release was the week’s fifth most popular film in the streamer’s latest results, and by the charts covering April 13-18 it had spent 44 weeks in Netflix’s weekly most-watched top 10.
That kind of staying power is rare. Most movies last at most about 10 weeks on Netflix’s weekly charts, and even the titles that catch fire usually spend only one or two weeks at the top before sliding away. Kpop Demon Hunters did the opposite: it debuted on Netflix in June 2025, became the most-watched film on the platform of all time not long after, and has kept returning to the list ever since.
The numbers are what make the run stand out. Forty-four weeks in the top 10 means the film has already outlasted the typical Netflix movie by more than four times over, and it would need about 8 more weeks in the weekly top 10 to reach a full year. For a service built on fast turnover, that is an unusually long shelf life for any film, let alone one that is still ranking near the top months after release.
Netflix’s weekly rankings usually shift quickly when fresh movies arrive, which is why long runs are so hard to hold. Kpop Demon Hunters has generally avoided the lower entries of the top 10, another sign that its audience has not just sampled it once but kept bringing it back into the conversation.
That leaves the next stretch as the real test. If Kpop Demon Hunters keeps its place for roughly 8 more weeks, it will cross from breakout hit into a full year of persistent weekly relevance — a mark that would confirm it as one of Netflix’s strongest long-running film performers rather than just one of its biggest launches.
Its staying power also means the film is still useful to Netflix well after the initial splash, which is why tie-ins such as the planned Mcdonald's HUNTRIX Meal in 2026 make business sense for a title that has not faded from the charts.
