  1. This simple chart really shows the absurdity that this movie event is.

    I’m starting to think people have it on autoplay cause its their way of playing the songs. In the past Netflix has put out some fun stats about their products and even customers. I’d love to find out if these are mostly people going to the scene with the song they want messing with the normal movie numbers.

    I guess we can be sure this is now going to be the new franchise that they will also find a way to make no longer fun before 2030.

  2. The fact that the line is so straight makes me think it’s all households with kids watching it on repeat.

    Is there any data on the number of times watched per account that’s watched it?

  3. I’m more surprised Red Notice was their most watched. 

  4. Not that I don’t believe this is their #1 movie, but does any of this data get verified by a third party? Or is it all just Netflix’s word?

  5. I haven’t even heard of most of these and I’ve been on Netflix this week

  6. Red Notice was the most watched thing on Netflix?!

    It was…fine, but that’s not a very high bar if that’s the best Netflix has ever produced.

  7. I can’t lie, I don’t know a single one of the other movies on this graph. Are they good?

  8. I have an 8 year old sister and after the first time she watched it she was locked in and had it on repeat the whole week

  9. Man, the kids are locked in. My daughter has watched it 4 times and looks out for the music from the movie.

  10. I’ve never heard of any of these movies before, except Don’t Look Up.

    I’m not sure if it’s a good or a bad thing.

  11. Just jumping in to say I enjoyed “The Adam Project”, it definitely gave me vibes of early 80s movies that I adored like “D.A.R.Y.L.”, “Cloak and Dagger”, and “The Last Starfighter”.

  12. wow I must be incredibly put of touch because I haven’t even heard of these movies save kpop demon hunters (I have younger cousins)

  13. The fact that its literally almost a straight line is absolute insanity

  14. It’s a sleeper hit.

    Sony (production company) sold the rights to Netflix, thinking it won’t go anywhere. Neither did Netflix, as it allocated very little marketing budget to it.

    Per Bloomberg:

    > Nobody expected *Demon Hunters* to become a worldwide sensation. The film was produced by [Sony Pictures Animation](https://archive.ph/o/HOtNk/https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/6758:JP), which chose to sell it Netflix rather than distribute the movie itself.

    > The project had a muted rollout, with a small premiere at Netflix’s Tudum theater in Los Angeles about a week before the company launched the final season of *Squid Game*, its most-popular series. With Netflix pouring resources into the Korean survival drama, *Demon Hunters* was given less prominence in the firm’s marketing push.

    > Since then, the film has taken off with memes and reaction videos going viral on social media.

  15. I watched it with my kids not thinking much of it but i have to say the fusion of the 3 different girls style mixing the rap, rock and pop blended into single songs . On paper it should not work without master level effort and someone they really delivered.

    Didnt pay much attention to the plot – what i caught seemed pretty generic but the songs were great.

  16. Huh, only thing I’ve seen on this chart is Don’t Look Up, I have only heard of the Kpop show ..guess that’s a sign that pop culture has passed me by

  17. Honestly this is going to inspire other Fusion groups and im all for it 95% of will absolutely terrible . But the ones the break through will be gold – i personally love Fusion group.

  18. Interesting: it wins on rewatchability, not initial interest.

  19. If I didn’t have kids, I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t know what either of these things are.

    As is, I’m still only 50%

  20. That line not being in gold was a real missed opportunity.

  21. It’s interesting that Squid Games season 1 is the most watched series, and KPDH is the most watch film, both being culturally Korean.
