The Materialists, written and directed by Celine Song of Past Lives fame, has hit the cinemas following much anticipation. Starring Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, the film is a love triangle set in New York City. In the romance drama, Johnson plays a matchmaker who starts dating a wealthy client, Harry, but finds herself drawn to her imperfect ex John (Evans). Wondering when and where to watch the film?

While Materialists opened in theatres across the United States on Friday, June 13, the international audience will be able to watch the love story in theatres on August 16 for its global theatrical rollout. Later, the film is expected to stream on Max under the 'Pay-1" window agreement between A24 and Warner Bros Discovery. Under the deal, the films by the production house become available on streaming platforms after their theatrical and digital home releases. 'It could be two or three months before the film is available to stream or rent anywhere," Cosmopolitan reported. It added, 'All of A24's movies stream on Max, per an exclusive deal they have with the company. So if you want to watch it as part of a subscription you already have, that would be the place to do it." For those who do not have a subscription to Max, the film will be available to rent or buy on platforms like Amazon, Apple and YouTube. For instance, the recent A24 release, Babygirl premiered on Max nearly four months after its cinema debut. Given the timeline, Materialists could likely arrive on Max around October 2025.

Labubu-maker Pop Mart diversifies into jewellery with new concept store
By Casey Hall and Nicoco Chan "Blind box" toymaker Pop Mart , which has seen frenzied sales worldwide for products related to its ugly-cute Labubu character, opened its first jewellery store in Shanghai on Friday. The jewellery concept store, called Popop, sells accessories adorned with Pop Mart's top-selling characters, including Labubu, Molly and Skullpanda. While Chinese consumption remains subdued in the face of a prolonged property downturn and sluggish economy, Pop Mart's affordable and adorable toys have remained in high demand both at home and abroad, driving its share price up more than 200% so far this year. Investor Zhang Ming, 34, who owns Pop Mart stocks worth 100 million yuan ($13.92 million), flew from his base in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing for the opening to check out the new store type and decide whether to increase his shareholding in the company. "I believe that the pricing and target audience for this brand are particularly well-suited, and I am confident that Pop Mart could potentially become China's version of Disney," Zhang said, predicting that the company's market cap could double from its current $45.65 billion valuation. Along with some Disney characters and others related to anime, comics and popular video games, Pop Mart's characters are seen as fulfilling what has been called " emotional consumption ", which sees young consumers spend on affordable luxuries that bring joy into their lives. Fang Ke, 35, who has a birthday coming up this month decided to treat herself to a 699 yuan Labubu bracelet at the opening. "I've loved Pop Mart for a long time; it's good-looking, brightly coloured, and also has a visual impact," she said. "My daughter likes it too." At Popop, prices start at around 350 yuan for charms or a simple silver ring, and go as high as 2699 yuan for necklaces adorned with metallic models of the characters. Most pieces are priced at under 1,000 yuan. At a traditional Pop Mart store, the "blind box" toys that the chain is best known for generally sell for 69 yuan and up, but consumers have shown a willingness to shell out much more for limited editions. Earlier this week, a Beijing auction house sold a human-sized Labubu figure for 1.08 million yuan, setting a new record and marking the toy's switch from craze to collectible. ($1 = 7.1821 Chinese yuan renminbi)
