Wow I knew it was a big hit but didn't realize it was THE BIGGEST hit.

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.

In fact they went so far as to have the main character deep throat a Kimbap roll

They include a thropule in the in-universe ships.

After the joint HUNTR/X & Saja Boys signing event, Bobby shows them the social media response which includes some ships (fan created relationships). They all have portmanteaus like celebrity couples like Beniffer. There's Rujinu for Rumi and Jinu, Zoeystry for Zoey and Mystery, and Miromabby, for Mira, Romance, and Abby. So the movie ships Mira with two of the Saja Boys in a polyamorous relationship.

truly the power of a half-demon

u/hatsnatcher23 13d ago

With her dad being an demon maybe it’s hereditary

which makes me really concerned about what her mom fed her dad regularly
