wider range of tie-ins, though there’s a lot of ‘homage shirts’ arriving through online
marketplaces that aren’t officially licensed at all and while they’re generating
revenue for someone, it’s not a film studio or production company. Still, there’s
something ‘cool’ about movie shirts that a lunchbox or duvet cover is never, ever
going to compete with.
