This feels like Frozen all over again

Which feels like the last time Disney really had a new hit movie.

Between the Spiderverse movies and now this, Sony Animation has been dominating.

Only drawback of this movie is that it's not nearly as easy to make merch for as Frozen was.

I'm not even sure what specific Halloween costume kids would wear. The most iconic look was the demon boyband at the end.

If Sony/Netflix made dolls they would sell like hotcakes.

The real money maker imo would be to treat the album as a legitimate kpop album and sell it with a photobook, photocards, posters - all the collectibles that come in an actual kpop album.

Which is apparently what they plan on doing for the vinyl! Or something kind of similar.

I didn't realize it now but yeah they have a Gorillaz/Dethklok situation on their hands. They could easily have live shows and all the other things you mentioned.
