"Kpop Demon Hunters" continues to rack up achievements, as Netflix announced Wednesday that the animated musical entered the platform's list of the most popular English-language films of all time.

The streaming giant made the announcement through a post on its X (formerly Twitter) account.

"KPop Demon Hunters" debuted at No. 4 on the list after garnering 158.8 million views, amounting to 264.6 viewing hours.

The action-comedy "Red Notice" (2021) leads the list with 230.9 million views, followed by "Carry-On" (2024) and "Don't Look Up" (2021), according to Netflix. The sci-fi "The Adam Project" (2022) rounds out the top five.

This development comes less than a week since Netflix named "KPop Demon Hunters" as its most-watched original animated film of all time.

"KPop Demon Hunters" follows the K-pop trio Huntrix as they balance their superstar careers with a secret life fighting demons.

Their double life gets complicated when they face off against the Saja Boys, a rival boy band whose members are actual demons.

The film is produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the same studio behind the hit "Spider-Verse" franchise.

Following its June 20 debut, the film has surged in popularity, with its soundtrack even peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, making it the highest-charting soundtrack of 2025.
