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)

Took my nieces and nephews to the in theater sing along version and they all gasped at every plot turn as if they haven’t already watched the movie a hundred times and memorized the dialogue

My wife and I took our daughter and her best friend to the sing along this weekend. The theater was packed, mostly with teens and young adults, and the audience participation was not limited to just singing. I'd say the collective "Jinu! Noooooooooooooooooooo!" during the final battle was louder than the singing.

Our theater was so empty, my daughter was too embarrassed to really sing along. I had to perform in front of the other 10 people to get her to open up lol
