Netflix said “KPop Demon Hunters” will get a global concert tour next year, produced with AEG Presents, with a waitlist already open for ticket, city and date updates.
325.1 million views in its first 91 streaming days helped drive the move, making the 2025 release Netflix’s most popular English-language movie ever; it also earned $24.7 million in a limited theatrical run.
Amy Reinhard told advertisers in New York that the film remains Netflix’s most popular movie and cited spillover demand including sing-alongs, Halloween costumes and a 25% jump in flights booked to Korea.
Netflix gave few tour details beyond calling it a live experience that will bring elements of the film to life, with city announcements due later this year.
