https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/07/10/after-barbie-mattel-is-raiding-its-entire-toy-box When the Israeli-born businessman Ynon Kreiz became the head of Mattel, in 2018, he was its fourth C.E.O. in four years. Toys R Us had recently gone bankrupt, causing a slump in sales; Kreizs predecessor had resigned after Mattel suffered a loss of three hundred million dollars. Kreiz, whose rsum includes a stint at Fox Kids Europe, saw an opportunity for growth. Mattel, he argued, had a childrens-entertainment catalogue second only to Disney. Just as Marvel had gone from ailing comic-book publisher to Hollywood behemoth, the toymaker could leverage its intellectual property at the multiplex. Kreiz told me, My thesis was that we needed to transition from being a toy-manufacturing company, making items, to an I.P. company, managing franchises.

It beats Batman Origin Story Number 17 or Reboot of movie franchise that has been rebooted twice before. --- Seattle Sounders 8-5-2 26pts 261 Refugee ... Copied to Clipboard!

Toy movies, brand movies, video game movies. It'll all come to a head eventually. Also iirc the Hot Cheeto movie is mostly based off a lie. --- http://i.imgur.com/x04tPRZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/t7T392I.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
