#TurksandCaicos, March 15, 2023 – Just in time for spring break, multi-millionaire Drake, is releasing a new casual wear line said to be inspired by the Turks and Caicos and TCI stores are the first to stock it. Practically an honorary islander by now, the ‘Hotline Bling’ singer often flits in and out of the country on his private jumbo jet with
ultra-famous friends in his entourage.
His love for the TCI is solidified in the new collaboration with his Nike funded brand NOCTA. It features turquoise blue shirts, tops with the logo T&C and even scuba gear. NOCTA introduced the collection with the caption ‘‘good times and tan lines.’’
The line is currently available exclusively at three souvenir shops in Grace Bay: Beach Hut Souvenirs, Caribbean Outpost, and Caribbean Gifts, NOCTA says. The official promotion features local TCI business Noah’s Ark in the background of a model’s spicy bum shot.
It will become available online this Saturday, March 17th, and globally in hundreds of Nike stores on March 23rd.

March 9, 2024 – In only its third week after being released on Friday, February 14th, the Bob Marley: One Love biopic is on its way to a huge milestone at the global box office, surpassing the $150 million mark worldwide.
The film is making headlines for its continuous growth in success, being one of the most anticipated films in the world, telling the story of one of, if not the Caribbean’s most famous and most influential musicians during his life and even in death.
According to reports, domestically, One Love generated $82 million and internationally $63 million, totalling a growing $146 million. This past weekend alone, its domestic earnings came up $7 million and nearly 8 million overseas.
Its success is projected to go even further, as it’s about to reach and pass the 150 million dollar mark, especially as it’s about to be launched in a brand new market soon.
Reports say the film has not been shown in any new markets since its release, but is scheduled to debut in several Asian countries this month.
Currently, the United Kingdom is One Love’s largest international market where it managed to bank more than $17 million, followed by France with $12 million and Brazil $4 million. In Jamaica, so far it has earned $600,000.
The film has attracted mixed reviews. For instance, on Rotten Tomatoes, an American review-aggregation website, it’s at 42 percent. However, audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes is at 92 percent as well as a great A CinemaScore from opening day crowds. CinemaScore I’d a market research firm based in Las Vegas.
