How many minutes of U.S. viewing time did KPop Demon Hunters record in 2025, according to Nielsen?
Answer
20.5 billion minutes
KPop Demon Hunters recorded 20.5 billion minutes of U.S. viewing time in 2025, according to Nielsen.
That figure measures viewing time on certain U.S. television screens, rather than counting every global stream or every individual person who watched the movie. Nielsen’s measurement placed KPop Demon Hunters as the most-streamed film of 2025 in the United States by total minutes watched.
The result followed the film’s rapid growth on Netflix. In August 2025, Netflix reported that the movie had passed 236 million views and overtaken Red Notice as its most-watched film at that point. Later Netflix updates reported still higher totals using Netflix’s own view-counting system.
The Nielsen number and Netflix’s global view totals should not be treated as interchangeable. One is measured in minutes on selected U.S. screens; the other counts viewing events under Netflix’s reporting method.
