Quick Glance: 99 Cents Only to Close All 371 Stores and Cease Longstanding Business
- After more than four decades, 99 Cents Only will close all 371 of its stores and cease its business operations.
- The decision was made due to various challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting consumer demand, inflationary pressures, and increasing levels of shrinkage.
- The closure of 99 Cents Only reflects a broader weakness in the dollar-store category, with other major retailers also announcing store closures.
- Established in 1982 in Los Angeles, 99 Cents Only was a trailblazer in single-price retail and faced pressure from rising wages and competition from larger chains.

Quick Glance: The Hushed Response to Oppenheimer in Japan
- After eight months since its US premiere and a month after its Oscar triumph, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has finally opened in Japan. Speculations surrounded the film's delay, being the only country to suffer the consequences of a nuclear bomb.
- The film opened like any other Hollywood blockbuster, with no organized protests, boycotts, or overt criticism. The extended delay may have diffused the debate.
- While there has been criticism, it has been measured and constructive. A positive commentary by lawyer Hiroyuki Shinju, published by the Tokyo Bar Association, highlighted the film's potential to address the legitimacy of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as reflections on nuclear weapons and war.
- A new Japanese take on the bomb story may be on the horizon, with director Takashi Yamazaki, known for Godzilla Minus One, tipped as a potential director, offering a powerful statement on nuclear catastrophe.
