Under Armour, Steph Curry Launch 'Curry Brand' to Rival Nike's Jordan Brand
Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry and his endorsement home, Under Armour, have launched the standalone "Curry Brand" to better compete with Nike's Jordan Brand. The new brand will feature gear for several sports, most notably basketball and golf. While speaking with Sports Illustrated's Jarrel Harris, Curry said, "Obviously, basketball is the no-brainer and my expression of what I do best, but when it comes to golf and when it comes running and training and when it comes other sports, that is part of my experience growing up."
He continued: "I always played other sports, got exposed to a lot of different skill sets and people, and that was big in my development. I feel like whatever a kid is interested in, we want to be able to present an opportunity to kind of live that out. We are going to start with basketball, and we want to make sure we have the product, programming and the arenas they would be able to go to and participate and hopefully scale out and brand out from there."
The brand will also focus on youth sports initiatives. Their first investment will be $1 million to the nonprofit, Positive Coaching Alliance, to better prepare youth coaches. Under Armour CEO Patrik Frisk said:

Testing New Release Strategy, ‘The Croods' Opens to $14.2M
Testing a novel release strategy, Universal Pictures' animated sequel “The Croods: A New Age” had one of the best opening weekends of the pandemic, grossing $14.2 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Whereas new releases have traditionally lasted around 90 days in theaters, Universal has mapped out a shorted theatrical window in deals with major chains AMC and Cinemark that gives the studio the option to move new releases to premium video-on-demand after just 17 days. “The Croods: A New Age” is expected to shift to the home before Christmas for a $20 rental. For an industry reeling from the pandemic, it's part of wider changes seeping through the industry.

Experts at AARP ElderWatch, which is a program with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, want to make sure you are aware of possible fraud this holiday season.
