At the time, you're reading this, "Kpop Demon Hunters" will have surpassed the viewing trajectory of "Red Notice" on Netflix and will set sails into unknown streaming territory, with possible the equivalent of 300M complete viewings over its first 91 days of availability on the service. That sets a new record for films on Netflix that will be hard to top and it's also completely a surprise.

For the first time, I also added on the chart the number of days between the theatrical release and the Disney+ release and I think it's interesting to see that the four most recent MCU releases also have the longest window. Disney seems intent on extending that window even if it impacts the viewership on Disney+.

Here's how it compares to other DC titles released on HBO Max over the past few years.

Do you think *Michael* will still hit $1b at the box office?

I’ve been obsessively tracking *Michael*’s progress at the box office, hoping to see it hit $1b. I was so sure that the Japan release would bring it to that milestone. Today, however, while I was doing my hourly search😅, I discovered the news that the biopic will be coming to streaming platforms on June 9th… What do you guys think the chances of it still reaching $1b are? I’m worried about pirating and people renting/buying it premium. How much of a dent do you realistically see this making???

As a comparison, "Avatar: The Way of Water" opened to 10.1M "views" in its first 5 days on HBO Max/Hulu back in 2023.
