KPop Demon Hunters sets Netflix record with 300m views

Netflix says it has more than 300 million subscribers worldwide - meaning that, statistically, every subscriber has streamed the film at least once.

The streaming platform counts viewing figures only for the first 91 days after release, so public tracking for KPop Demon Hunters ends on September 19. 

Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the fantasy follows the K-pop girl band Huntr/x, three young women who lead double lives as demon hunters. 

Their mission is complicated when a rival boy band appears whose members turn out to be demons themselves.

The film's runaway popularity has propelled its K-pop-infused soundtrack, including lyrics in Korean, into the top of music charts worldwide.

Netflix and Sony Pictures are in talks to produce a sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
