The animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" has topped the domestic box office, earning an estimated $18 million in its opening weekend, marking a significant win for Netflix. The film, which features a Korean girl group battling demons, outperformed Warner Bros' horror film "Weapons". This success comes as Netflix typically avoids wide theatrical releases, opting instead for limited runs. The film has also produced a hit song, "Golden", contributing to its cultural impact and popularity.
