...with a combined production/marketing budget of $160-240 million.

Makes sense.

LEGO did it.

Women were not catered for a few years ago. Young girls are not catered for now.

Hello Kitty seems like a great idea if they can start to build it up as having a "world" for fun to happen in.

This could make a ton of money in Japan.

Also, the Hello Kitty universe has a big cast of characters, this could be interesting to see how many they use.

Clearly made for the Asian market which will help it get to at least 200m.

As a person who spent a lot of time in an elementary school over the last six months: this could also be huge in the U.S. if backpack and t-shirt sales translate into admissions.

I am only aware of the iconography, not the actual "story" and characters.

I'm actually shocked that this hasn't been made yet.

This is arguably one of, if not the biggest brand in China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and a huge area of East Asia. Hello Kitty is potentially a significantly bigger global brand than even Lego. It has a big following in North America and other markets as well.

You heard it hear first, this could do $500 m +.

great idea, the boost in merchandise sales will be even greater than its movie gross itself.
