In a box office twist, a film from the theatrical-averse Netflix appears to be No. 1 on North American charts. “Kpop Demon Hunters,” a sing-along version of the hit animated musical, is estimated to have earned $18 million to $20 million on Saturday and Sunday.
Netflix isn’t reporting grosses, but projections from rival studios and exhibitors would put ticket sales for “Kpop Demon Hunters” ahead of those for “Weapons,” which was expected to claim first place and looks to earn a strong $15.6 million from 3,631 North American theaters in its third weekend of release.
