Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason::Netflix has decided to open a number of brick-and-mortar locations to sell items based on hit shows, offer dining and provide live events. There’s also going to be an obstacle course based on ‘Squid Game.’

offer dining

I would actually love to see a restaurant that prepares dishes based on various fantasy / sci-fi worlds

Like food from the witcher in a tavern theme, or food from Star Trek in the enterprise cafeteria, etc.

Is Hannibal on netflix?

Don't worry dinner will be cancelled midway through the appetizers 😔

In Tokyo they had a Stranger Things themed restaurant for a while. Pop up culture is pretty big in Japan so it worked out great I suppose. I don't expect it to work in other places nearly as well. Especially if it's a permanent structure.

One thing you could do would be to build a common "theme" for the structure and then switch out the basis on a monthly basis.

So build a tavern section and then one month do the witcher, the next game of thrones, then pirates of the Caribbean, etc.

Space ship theme for Star Trek, Star wars, firefly

Retro theme for stranger things, and other stuff that I can't think of right now.

I mean the spaceships in star trek, star wars and firefly all have pretty different interiors. Of your idea is to draw in fans of specific shows you don't really want to have a "generic sci fi" setting.

Well, yeah you wouldn't be able to re-use everything but certain things like the building structure and cutlery, flooring, etc probably wouldn't have to be modified much. Some of the more expensive things to switch out.
