The unstoppable hitmakers of HUNTR/X are bringing their Billboard chart-topping tunes to the big screen for a special theatrical engagement of KPop Demon Hunters. Netflix’s most popular animated feature will be hitting the big screen in a new sing-along screening series on Saturday and Sunday, August 23 & 24.
