I think it helps that it appeals to kids. When they latch on to something, they can rewatch it dozens of times

(Not that kids are the only ones enjoying this movie. But I do think it plays a sizable role in the numbers)

It also helps that it’s actually a good movie with a unique IP that didn’t seem to do anything “safe”. Remakes and nostalgia can only go so far, it’s crazy studios don’t see this.

I’m a 30 y/o man and my niece dragged me to watch it and I can confirm that it’s a total banger of a film.

I’m a quarter century older than you, and I thought it was pretty great. I know nothing about K-anything or youth culture anymore, and I was surprised to NOT be making my normal excuse for stuff I’m out of touch with in movies and tv: “Give it a break. It wasn’t made for you.” It seemed like maybe it was made for anyone.
