• nostalgiatainment trends and Retroescapes viability
• theme park economics and Orlando softness
• Halloween supply chain shocks hitting redemption
• Five Iron growth strategy and localization
• Chuck E. Cheese expansion plans in Turkey

• Genda x Toys “R” Us retailtainment and dwell time math
• Netflix House anchor mix and price positioning
• VR kiosk pitfalls and LBVR differentiation
• AR‑light momentum and privacy pushback
• AI as tool: ads, commerce, and game dev productivity
