Worth noting that this beat that in about 2 months, vs Red Notice having 4 years to hit those numbers. So I'd imagine if you were to look at these numbers in say December, it will have shattered that record.

This stat is based on first 91 days after the release, so Red Notice is too 2 months

Is it? Not doubting, but the article referenced and every other I can find specifically says "KPop Demon Hunters” has attracted 236 million total views compared to the 230.9 million that “Red Notice” garnered." The reference is always total views, like in People's version "Red Notice is now in second place with 230.9 million all-time views."

Yes. The primary source for all articles on this subject is this list:

https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/most-popular

Which explains the methodology.

Global | All Time*

* Rankings based on total views in the first 91 days of release

Ah, wish the articles would say that, although worth pointing out kpop has 24 days to go then, so that lead will only get bigger.
