GalaxyCon to Use Licenses to Create New
Products and Experiences at Conventions &
E-Commerce
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla. , July 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GalaxyCon, the largest
independently owned consumer and fan engagement company, has
announced that it has acquired the licensing rights to the cult hit
franchises The Rocky Horror Show, The Crow, and American
Psycho. GalaxyCon will use these newly acquired licensing
rights for new products and experiences at its conventions
including GalaxyCon, Nightmare Weekend, and Animate!, along with
products for its e-commerce store.
"Our fans already love these three incredible IPs and we've
started designing some really incredible products and experiences
around them," says Mike Broder,
founder of GalaxyCon. "We're also in the process of acquiring
licensing rights to even more pop culture franchises, which we look
forward to announcing in the coming weeks."
American Psycho, released in April
2002 and based on the book by Bret
Easton Ellis, is widely regarded as one of the greatest
satirical horror films of all-time. The Crow, released in
May 1994, spawned 3 sequels and a
television series and has iconic imagery recognized worldwide. And
since its debut at the Royalty Court Theater in London back in 1973, the Rocky Horror Show has
been covering the globe with an infectious concoction of sexual
liberation, b-movie pastiche and rock'n'roll.
"We're excited to bring these incredible licenses to GalaxyCon
fans across the country," said David Valazzi, Director of Business
Development at GalaxyCon. "This is just the beginning too because
we've got even more exciting properties coming down the line, so
stay tuned!"
These new licensing acquisitions were set up through Evolution
(American Psycho, The Crow) and Golden
Goose (The Rocky Horror Show).
"Given their expertise in the pop culture marketplace we are
really excited to see how GalaxyCon will further engage and delight
their core fanbase with unique fan first merchandise and
experiences at their conventions for both American Psycho and The
Crow," says Travis J. Rutherford,
Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer for Evolution USA.
This acquisition is yet another part of GalaxyCon's major
expansion as the company continues its unprecedented growth and
dedication to bringing even more engaging experiences to fans and
cities across the United States in
2024, 2025, and beyond. GalaxyCon also recently announced a major
expansion of its events into several new markets, bringing its
