Over the weekend, the KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along and Weapons dominated the box office, attracting significant attention from the industry. KPop Demon Hunters made a strong entrance at the top spot, while Weapons managed to maintain its position in its third week. Simultaneously, Disney’s Freakier Friday continued to perform well, maintaining consistent earnings and delivering another successful weekend.
Weapons’ box office beaten by KPop Demon Hunters’ sing-along
In a triumphant debut, Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation’s musical adventure, KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along, earned an impressive estimated $18 million during its first two days in theaters, according to Box Office Mojo, claiming the number one position at the box office.
Based on reports from industry insiders, the movie grossed approximately $9.6 million on Saturday and $8.4 million on Sunday. This revenue surpassed New Line/Warner Bros.’ film Weapons, which accumulated $15.6 million in its third weekend and a total of $115.8 million so far. As reported by EntTelligence (via Deadline), the movie KPop Demon Hunters attracted around 1.5 million admissions. Additionally, premium tickets, costing $16.31, accounted for about 18% of the total sales.
Netflix kept its earnings hidden from Comscore, but competing studios computed the figures independently and placed the movie ahead of Weapons in the rankings. The projected total weekend box office, including KPop Demon Hunters, is between $78 and $79 million. Without the release on Netflix, the weekend’s box office would have been the lowest for the summer at around $60 million. In contrast, the second weekend of May grossed $85.5 million.
After a successful two-day screening in various countries, Netflix announced that KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along will be available for streaming starting August 25, 2025, at midnight Pacific Time. This release comes after over 1,000 sold-out screenings in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. The cast and crew also made appearances at fan events in New York City and Los Angeles.
In simpler terms, it has been confirmed that the movie is included in Sony’s $3 billion agreement with Netflix. Netflix paid over $100 million to Sony, along with an additional $25 million, for the rights to this specific title. All animation work was done by Sony ImageWorks. Furthermore, Sony Pictures Animation will create sequels and spinoffs of this movie. According to industry experts, this deal not only benefits Sony financially but also broadens Netflix’s collection of original films.
Over the past weekend, several films made their debut: Honey Don’t! from Focus Features brought in $3 million; Relay by Bleecker Street grossed $1.9 million; Ne Zha II, distributed by A24, earned $1.5 million; and Eden, directed by Ron Howard, collected $1 million. Meanwhile, Splitsville from NEON took home $105,500 across five theaters, boasting the weekend’s highest average theater earnings of $21,000.
