You'll soon be able to watch KPop Demon Hunters on the big screen. The
Netflix animated film has become a global hit since it launched on the
platform and has reportedly become the second most-watched movie on the
service's history after Red Notice. Now, Netflix is holding a limited
theatrical event, wherein fans can watch a sing-along version of the film.
Aside from the movie itself being a hit, its songs have gained massive
popularity, with the track Golden recently taking the number one spot on the
Billboard Hot 100.

KPop Demon Hunters is a musical that revolves around the girl group Huntr/x,
which as you might have guessed, are demon hunters. The group is the latest
trio of women who uses the power of their singing voices to maintain the
Honmoon, or the magical barrier that prevents demons from entering our world
established generations ago by the first trio of singing demon hunters. In
the film, they're in constant competition with a boy band called Saja Boys,
who are made up of demons that look like pretty boys. The main antagonist,
however, is Gwi-Ma, ruler of the demons. He was voiced by Lee Byung-hun, whom
a lot of people might know as the Front Man in Squid Game.

The film's limited theatrical release will only last for one weekend, from
August 23 to 24, in select screens across the US and Canada. You can buy
tickets starting today, August 13, at 9AM Eastern time, from the even't
official website, where you can also view the full list of theaters and
showtimes in your area.
