 Re: "Hello Kitty" to be turned into a big budget movie
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.

 Re: "Hello Kitty" to be turned into a big budget movie
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.

 Re: "Hello Kitty" to be turned into a big budget movie
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 +.

 Re: "Hello Kitty" to be turned into a big budget movie
great idea, the boost in merchandise sales will be even greater than its movie gross itself.
