KPop Demon Hunters’ Sets Halloween Sing-Along Theatrical Run in Mexico

The in-cinema karaoke screenings turn the streaming hit’s music into a shared fan experience that extends its reach beyond Netflix.

Overview

  • The sing-along edition runs October 31 to November 2 across Mexico, with confirmed bookings at chains including Cinépolis and Cinemex and on-screen lyrics in Spanish.
  • The Netflix original has amassed about 236 million cumulative views within three months of release, with early weeks topping charts in dozens of countries.
  • Its soundtrack has logged multi‑billion streams, is out via Republic Records on vinyl, CD and digital, and features tracks such as Golden, Free and Takedown (TWICE version).
  • Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have publicly rejected a live‑action adaptation, saying the film’s tone, comedy and set pieces depend on animation.
  • Merchandise and food tie‑ins continue worldwide, including a Nongshim collaboration available across several regions, as the Latin American dub spotlights vocal leads Azul Bötticher, Karin Zavala and Tatul Bernodat.
