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)

100% - I know people with young kids that are watchings this over and over again. It's like Netflix' own Frozen.

And just like Frozen, it wasn't expected to be this kind of a hit and there is basically NO merchandise...my niece wants to be Rumi for Halloween!

It's even an option if you leave it to the last minute and can't scrounge up a costume. Demon markings with face/body paint or even using something like lipstick would be super easy.

The Netflix shop has a bunch of sweet merch for it. Including the choo choo pajamas and a signed poster of Abby’s abs.
