Overview

  • The film added 25.4 million views worldwide for the week of Aug. 18–24, maintaining unusually steady weekly engagement since its June 20 debut.
  • A limited two-day sing-along release led the weekend box office with third-party estimates of roughly $17–$20 million, as exhibitors reported sellouts and Netflix withheld official grosses.
  • Billboard confirmed the soundtrack is the first ever to place four songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously, with HUNTR/X’s “Golden” returning to No. 1 this week.
  • On the Billboard Global 200, five tracks from the soundtrack are now in the top 10, a first for any soundtrack, according to Billboard reporting.
  • Produced by Sony Pictures Animation for Netflix under a streaming deal, the movie still has time left in Netflix’s 91-day window, and Deadline reports Netflix may combine sing-along and original-version view counts in future updates.
