Ya, don't think many people are dropping $300 on a retro backpack from a movie that bombed.

    All the big movies are bombing, and this time they cant blame COVID. Indy Jones 5, Flash, that dumb looking Pixar film, etc. We are entering a new era where the audiences are smartened up and wont stand for the usual cliched, predictable nonsense, especially just more rehashed sequels. And on top of that, Hollywood actual workers are on strike. The executives are probably single-handedly supporting the vodka and cocaine markets.

    This is a particularly amusing weekend to say this, given that two big movies, Barbie and Oppenheimer, are going to have a ridiculously successful run.

    And neither are original properties either. Oppenheimer is a true story based in part on the book "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer", and Barbie is, of course, Barbie.

    It’s not really that anyone would buy it but more they stole the product and sold it through a different company. Tbh I buy one backpack a decade so I feel you, the backpack itself is a gimmick
