Labubu-maker Pop Mart diversifies into jewellery with new concept store
By Casey Hall and Nicoco Chan SHANGHAI (Reuters) -"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.

From 'Snow White' to 'Echo Valley,' 15 movies you need to stream right now
From 'Snow White' to 'Echo Valley,' 15 movies you need to stream right now Show Caption Hide Caption Rachel Zegler on Disney films 'Snow White' star Rachel Zegler tests her Disney movie knowledge in this fun trivia game with USA TODAY Love movies? Live for TV? USA TODAY's Watch Party newsletter has all the best recommendations, delivered right to your inbox. Sign up now and be one of the cool kids. June blooms with a bunch of new streaming movies. We're firmly into the summer season at the cinema, but also on your various streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime Video and more have plenty for your next viewing session. There are theatrical releases finally coming home, including a Ben Affleck action sequel, Anthony Mackie's first solo Marvel superhero movie and a Disney live-action remake with rising star Rachel Zegler. Don't sleep on the original fare, though, like a new "Predator" movie, a Julianne Moore/Sydney Sweeney thriller and rock docs on Bono and Led Zeppelin. Here are 15 notable new movies you can stream right now: 'The Accountant 2' There's sadly not as much math as in 2016's original "The Accountant," which became a surprise cult hit on cable TV. Plenty of bro love fills that gap in the serviceable sequel, which teams action-hero CPA Christian (Ben Affleck) with his hitman sibling Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to solve a mystery involving a broken family and human trafficking. Where to watch: Prime Video 'The Alto Knights' Robert De Niro as not one but two mob bosses? In the same movie? That's just criminal. Based on real-life events, Barry Levinson's gangster drama casts De Niro as former best friends turned rivals Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, where a violent betrayal leads to an undoing of the New York underworld. Where to watch: Max 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' The feel-good British dramedy stars Tom Basden as one half of a formerly famous folk duo hired by an oddball lottery winner (Tim Key) to play a private show on his remote Welsh island. An unlikely reunion occurs when the singer is gobsmacked to find that his ex-partner (Carey Mulligan) – in music and in love – has also been invited. Where to watch: Peacock 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' If you've got a whole lotta love for Led Zeppelin, this documentary/concert film is a must-watch. The movie charts the influential British rock group's origin story in the late 1960s, from their earliest days – and how everybody wasn't all about that now-iconic name – to their meteoric rise as one of the world's biggest bands. Where to watch: Netflix 'Bono: Stories of Surrender' This is certainly better than that U2 album that randomly showed up on everybody's iTunes. In the movie based on Bono's memoir, he's charismatic and engaging doing his one-man show, which marries hit tunes with a bunch of personal tales to showcase a man who's way more than just his music. Where to watch: Apple TV+ 'Captain America: Brave New World' Marvel's fourth solo Cap movie could have been a better spotlight adventure for Anthony Mackie's likable hero, Sam Wilson. At least he gets plenty of shenanigans to deal with, like a global conspiracy that involves returning villain Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) and Hulked-out, rage-monster president Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford). Where to watch: Disney+ 'Deep Cover' There's a motley crew at work in this action comedy, with Bryce Dallas Howard as an improv comedy teacher recruited to infiltrate the London crime scene. She enlists the help of two students (Orlando Bloom and "Ted Lasso" breakout Nick Mohammed) and they accidentally become decent gangsters. Where to watch: Prime Video 'Dog Man' Based on Dav Pilkey's graphic novels, the goofy animated comedy centers on a police officer and his dog, who are injured in the line of duty. The canine's head is sewed on top of the dude's body, and Dog Man is born, a hybrid supercop with kung fu moves and mad fetch skills who battles a supervillain cat (Pete Davidson). Where to watch: Peacock 'Echo Valley' Julianne Moore is in the conversation for Movie Mom of the Year. She starts in the twisty thriller as a horse trainer struggling to keep her business afloat after her wife's death. Things get worse as efforts to reconnect with her addict daughter (Sydney Sweeney) end up with the mother going to extremes to cover up a dead body. Where to watch: Apple TV+ 'Mountainhead' Imagine the four worst people on the planet, and they're all in this comedy that plays more like a horror movie, given the recent news cycle. Cory Michael Smith, Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef and Jason Schwartzman are narcissist tech bros on a snowy retreat with the world in crisis, and they brainstorm ways to use the chaos for their own gain. Where to watch: Max 'Predator: Killer of Killers' This R-rated, animated sci-fi adventure is a refreshing and stylishly super-violent addition to the "Predator" franchise. The anthology film follows three human warriors in history – a Viking warrior woman, a ninja in feudal Japan and a World War II ace – being stalked as prey by alien hunters with high-tech weaponry and a mean streak. Where to watch: Hulu 'Presence' Fans of "A Ghost Story" might find Steven Soderbergh's intriguing thriller similarly haunting. The movie unfolds from the perspective of an unseen spirit, who watches the domestic drama of a teen (Callina Liang), her brother (Eddy Maday) and their parents (Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan) – and sometimes makes their, ahem, presence felt. Where to watch: Hulu 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig' Political protests have created a palpable sense of a paranoia for an Iranian investigator (Missagh Zareh). And when his gun goes missing, he imposes harsh rules on his wife (Soheila Golestani) and two daughters (Mahsa Rostami and Setareh Maleki), thinking one of them is the culprit in this gripping, Oscar-nominated thriller. Where to watch: Hulu 'Snow White' Rachel Zegler is enchanting as the title character, even if the Disney live-action musical remake plays it too safe. Targeted for death by her evil queen stepmom (a camped-out Gal Gadot), scullery maid Snow high-tails it to a nearby forest and makes some friends – including seven little miner dudes – before sparking her own revolution. Where to watch: Disney+ 'Straw' Tyler Perry's melodramatic thriller depicts the worst day a parent could ever have. But Taraji P. Henson is a force of nature as an embattled mom who loses her ailing daughter to social services and also her job before she shows up at the local bank, gun in hand, wanting to cash her last check.

How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Bryce Dallas Howard
Third-generation actor and director Bryce Dallas Howard has a lot going on — so much so that when The Times caught up with her recently, she was just getting over laryngitis. 'Last week, it was like I would open my mouth and it was air coming out,' she said, admitting that it's challenging for her to be disciplined about, say, not speaking. But you can't really blame her: Talking is part of the business. And there's a lot of business to attend to. On Thursday, Howard's action comedy "Deep Cover" arrived on Prime Video. Howard stars alongside Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed as three improv actors recruited by the police to help with sting operations, hilariously committing to the bit. Prior to that, Howard directed and produced the Disney+ documentary "Pets," which examines the relationship between people and their furry friends. She's starred as Claire Dearing in the "Jurassic World" franchise ('If the team would ever have Claire back, I'll be there in a heartbeat,' she says), appeared in the acclaimed TV show "Black Mirror" and directed episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Skeleton Crew," to name a few recent career highlights. (In her spare time, she's getting a degree from an online fine arts school.) The ideal Sunday, then, for this NYU grad — whose first onscreen appearance at age 7 was as an extra in her dad Ron Howard's "Parenthood" — includes lots of hot chocolate ('I always say I should have a T-shirt that says, 'Powered by hot chocolate' ') and delicious food ('I like to eat little yummy things throughout the day'). There's also time with her husband, Seth Gabel, their kids, Theo, 18, and Bea, 13, and their beloved pets. And don't forget, she has to finish that portfolio for art school! This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. 7 a.m.: Rise and hot chocolate time I love to sleep, but I've got cats and dogs, and they don't really let me sleep, and I sort of feel my best when I'm waking up around 7. So an ideal Sunday would definitely start on the early side. I can't drink coffee anymore. I used to love it, and now my tummy is too middle-aged for it. But I do hot chocolate, nice hot chocolate. That's my coffee or tea. I've got one of those little Hotel Chocolat [hot chocolate makers]. You put chocolate powder in milk, and it froths. I got it as a gift, actually, from the producers on "Deep Cover." 8 a.m.: Doughnuts and a dog walk at Dockweiler Beach I love Dockweiler Beach. I filmed an M83 music video that I directed there with Lily Collins years ago; it was my first introduction to the beach. I just love to drive down there and then just walk around. It's so beautiful. We have two dogs, but I would only take [the younger] one. The other has a shorter walk. She's been very clear with us: She's a little older; message received. The younger one is a little over a year old. We can do up to three miles together, and then she's very, very happy. My favorite Sunday food situation is definitely Sidecar Doughnuts. They have gluten-free doughnuts, like a weekly special, and they have a vegan doughnut that's also usually gluten-free, so I'll get both of those and take them to the beach. My favorite is the Old Fashion — whenever it's Old Fashion I get very excited — or the Celebration Cake. 11 a.m.: Art and art supply shopping My favorite art supply store in Los Angeles is called Graphaids in Culver City. It's a family-owned art store, and they have just a wonderful selection of supplies. In October, I'm going to be graduating from an online fine arts school called Milan Art Institute. It's been very rewarding and very fun. You learn all of it — art drawing, oil painting, mixed media. I'm in the portfolio stage, so I do a lot of mixed media, and then I usually do a layer of oil over it. Graphaids has been there through the entire journey. I started the program in October of 2023, when I was going into the store not knowing what anything meant, and then getting to know the folks who work there. They're all artists. They want to save you money. They care about hobbyists; they care about professionals. They care about students. It's beautiful. Now I go in the store and I'm like,"Could I have this solvent, please? And I would love this medium, please." It's much more "you know what you're after" now. On a Sunday, I would be working on my portfolio at home, and then — this isn't Los Angeles, but it's California — I love to take online Case for Making classes. Those are watercolor classes. My kids will usually join in if they're around and the social calendar permits it. 1 p.m.: Brunch and walking and shopping in Culver City or Venice Destroyer in Culver City is really, really good. They've got a great plant-centric menu, which is good because one of my kids doesn't really eat meat, and I also like that it's kind of elevated. I like the raw oatmeal soaked in date-almond milk. I also love Gjelina in Venice; it's elevated, but it's also relaxed. Ideally I'd go with my family, and my best friend — we've been best friends since we were 15 — lives in Venice. So we would definitely meet up at Gjelina. Part of the fun there is you're waiting to get in, so you can walk up and down Abbot Kinney. My favorite makeup store in Los Angeles, Apple Doll, has a storefront on Abbot Kinney. They have this Nectar Salve that I'm obsessed with. If we have brunch in Culver City, afterward I would probably go to Arcana. I love that bookstore. So I would go there with my best friend on this perfect Sunday. The reason we like these areas is they're really walkable. I was raised mostly on the East Coast and I went to NYU, so being able to walk places — it's very important. 4 p.m.: An afternoon chocolate fix When we moved to the Westside, I got really into John Kelly Chocolates [in Santa Monica]. It's high-end chocolate. On a dream Sunday, absolutely, I would go there. And I'm also going to Sprinkles and getting red velvet, gluten-free cupcakes. 6 p.m.: Dinner in — or more snacks out I love to order delivery from Burger Lounge that my son will then go and pick up because he likes saving money on delivery. I love the classic burger. They have really great gluten-free buns. I also like going to AOC winebar, sitting at the bar and not ordering a big meal. Their bacon-wrapped dates are really, really delicious. 8 p.m.: Pajama walk around the neighborhood I think we might've made this up — I don't think I read about it anywhere — when the kids were younger, we would do this thing I would call pajama walks. It was a way for me to force them to get into their pajamas before it got dark and to keep a schedule according to the cycle of the sun and get us all outside after dinner. Now it's basically my husband's and my way of sneaking out of the house. We'll invite the kids, and a lot of times they'll want to come. If they don't, it's just a great way for my husband and me to get a little bit of one-on-one time together. I'll still wear pajamas; I'll just throw a coat over it. The world has more loungewear these days, so you can't even tell. 9 p.m.: 'Landscape Artist of the Year' and a little painting before bed I'm actually pretty careful about screen time during the weekend if I can help it, but my husband and I like to watch "Landscape Artist of the Year," the British feel-good show. Then usually I will paint, and that's usually when I'm working on my portfolio stuff. (On an ideal Sunday, we're not having to stress last-minute about our daughter having homework.) I love to listen to audiobooks while I'm painting. I've been relistening to books that I read when I was younger. I just did a third time through "A Movable Feast." It's so fun to just listen to the stories. The next day, I've got to be up at 7, so I'll paint until about 10:30 and then just go to sleep.
