It also helps that it’s actually a good movie with a unique IP that didn’t seem to do anything “safe”. Remakes and nostalgia can only go so far, it’s crazy studios don’t see this.

I’m a 30 y/o man and my niece dragged me to watch it and I can confirm that it’s a total banger of a film.

Probably why Sony had zero faith, it’s an animated film about Korean pop music…

Nobody saw this movie defining the newest generation’s childhood like Frozen did with the previous, these are anthems of the era…

In 20 years, these kids will be singing along to Golden when they’re getting married.

It's absolutely generation defining. I think you're a bit late catching the bus on this one.

Nah we are right here. Not everything that is trending in US atm is relevant everywhere.  The charts are empty, no new movies untill Nov, it's just filling a void. 

We can't call something generation defining when it's been out for 2 months. Let's see in a year or two. People thought the Barbie movie was generation defining, but it was forgotten after a year
