While KPop Demon Hunters debuted at No. 1 with a strong two-day run, Weapons held steady in its third weekend. At the same time, Disney\u2019s Freakier Friday maintained consistent earnings, delivering another solid frame.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Weapons\u2019 box office beaten by KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 sing-along<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Netflix\/Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along secured the top spot at the box office with an estimated $18 million two-day opening (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/title\/tt14205554\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Box Office Mojo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Box Office Mojo<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to industry sources, the film earned $9.6 million on Saturday and $8.4 million on Sunday. It outperformed New Line\/Warner Bros.\u2019 Weapons, which took in $15.6 million in its third weekend and reached a cumulative $115.8 million. EntTelligence reported KPop Demon Hunters drew 1.5 million admissions. Premium tickets, priced at $16.31, made up 18% of sales (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/08\/box-office-kpop-demon-hunters-weapons-1236495263\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Deadline;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Deadline<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Netflix shielded grosses from Comscore, but rival studios calculated the numbers independently and placed the film above Weapons. The overall weekend box office is projected at $78\u201379 million with KPop Demon Hunters included. Without the Netflix release, the weekend would have ranked as the summer\u2019s lowest at $60 million. By comparison, May\u2019s second weekend reached $85.5 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After its limited two-day theatrical run, Netflix confirmed KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along will stream on August 25, 2025, at midnight PT. The release follows more than 1,000 sold-out screenings across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Cast and crew also appeared at fan events in New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sony confirmed the movie forms part of its $3 billion deal with Netflix. Netflix paid $100 million plus $25 million to Sony for the title. Sony ImageWorks completed all animation work. Sony Pictures Animation will also produce sequels and spinoffs. Industry sources reported the deal makes the project profitable for Sony while expanding Netflix\u2019s slate of original films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other weekend openers included Focus Features\u2019 Honey Don\u2019t! ($3 million), Bleecker Street\u2019s Relay ($1.9 million), A24\u2019s Ne Zha II ($1.5 million), and Ron Howard\u2019s Eden ($1 million). NEON\u2019s Splitsville earned $105,500 across five locations, posting the weekend\u2019s highest theater average at $21,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/news\/622650-kpop-demon-hunters-sing-along-weapons-box-office\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SuperHeroHype;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/2019034-kpop-demon-hunters-sing-along-weapons-box-office\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:KPop Demon Hunters Conquers Box Office After Netflix Domination;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">KPop Demon Hunters Conquers Box Office After Netflix Domination<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along and Weapons leading the weekend box office, their results have drawn major industry focus.
