In a box office twist, "Kpop Demon Hunters," a film from the theatrical-averse Netflix appears to be No. 1 on North American charts.

Since the streamer won't report grosses, Warner Bros.' 'Weapons' will rightfully be listed as the official victor of the weekend. Apple's foray into theatrical also made headlines as 'F1: The Movie' raced past a huge $600 million globally.

On a slow end-of-summer weekend that has been left by the legacy studios to specialty distributors, Netflix is set to do something it has never done before with its first No. 1 at the box office, all thanks to Sony Pictures Animation's "K-Pop Demon Hunters" As the original animated action musical stands on the verge of passing "Red Notice" as the streamer's most-watched film ever with 210 million views and counting,
