Overview

• Netflix’s two-day sing-along event runs Aug. 23–24 on roughly 1,700 North American screens, with additional showings in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.
• More than 1,000 screenings had sold out by midweek, and industry projections suggest a domestic haul up to about $15 million that may rank No. 1 for the weekend.
• The film is Netflix’s second most-watched movie with roughly 210 million views and currently leads the service’s movie charts, according to recent reports.
• Its original soundtrack continues to surge globally, with HUNTR/X’s “Golden” topping Billboard’s global charts in recent weeks and multiple tracks in top tiers on Billboard and Spotify.
• Creators and trade reports point to active talks on sequels, spinoffs and merchandising, as theaters embrace concert-like participation while some chains, including Alamo Drafthouse, maintain no-phone policies; the movie was produced by Sony and later sold to Netflix.
