Game of Thrones merchandise coming to India

Ned Stark collectible figure

Rejoice, India: soon your 1.2 billion citizens will be able to buy locally licensed and developed Game of Thrones merchandise through Mumbai-based firm Black White Orange Brands (no relation to the Assassin’s Guild hall). After working for over a year to close the deal with HBO, Black White Orange CEO Bhavik Vora is hoping that the merchandise will bring in between $35 and $40 million in sales during the first two years of the exclusive deal. And unlike otherGame of Thrones-related distribution deals, this one will allow the company to develop its own set of products, as opposed to distributing previously existing merchandise sold in other countries. Vora appeared especially enthused when discussing the deal with The Economic Times.
This is a huge achievement for us. Game of Thrones fans get transported into the world of Westeros when watching the show and are eager to extend that experience into their everyday lives.
Founded less than a year ago, Black White Orange Brands has been on a bit of winning streak for such a young company, recently winning the international distribution rights for NBCUniversal’s consumer products division. The Game of Thrones deal will last for three years and is structured as a revenue sharing agreement, meaning that HBO (and parent Time Warner Inc.) will share in the profits. With the second largest population of any country on the planet, HBO should see significant revenue from the sale of apparel, actions figures, drink-ware, and other collectibles.
As Game of Thrones heads into the home stretch of the series, with only two seasons remaining, it has never been more popular. Ratings for Season 6 were the best of the series thus far, and rumors of a potential spin-off series never seem to die. And even with the series ending, there will likely remain a large demand of related merchandise well into the future.

Game of thrones season 7 episode 6 script : A Dragon dies... [ Contains Spoilers ]

Here's the script for episode 6: [ These are translations from FD(Freaky Doctor)'s videos on Youtube ] Content may or may not be 100% accurate, I’m just translating what Friki has posted. I know this episode has been translated already but given my fluency in Spanish and English I think I could add or improve on some things. I’ve translates things as Friki spoke, whether the scenes are in the correct order or not, I personally do not know. If I’ve made any mistakes please feel free to correct me. The second to last episode is also the second longest episode of this season, clocking in at 71 mins according to IMDB Frikidoctor tells what happens in the north first and then goes on to tell what happens in other parts of Westeros so if you see some time jumps during the north storyline there are scenes in between these I just don’t know which ones since he doesn’t mention it and I wanted to translate as he spoke but I find it better the way he did it, even though A LOT h

Game of thrones season 7 episode 7 script : Dany and Jon do it... [ Contains Spoilers ]

Here's the script for episode 6: [ These are translations from FD(Freaky Doctor)'s videos on Youtube ] Content may or may not be 100% accurate, I’m just translating what Friki has posted. Please note that this translation may contain some errors (not every word translates from Spanish to English perfectly) and if you see these errors please feel free to correct me. The last episode is the longest episode of the season and the longest episode of the entire series so far clocking in at 81 mins according to IMDB Friki starts his video with explaining he did a livestream for episode 7 because he is on vacation and can’t dedicate himself to edit a video while on vacation (valid reason) We start in Kings Landing, where we are in the dragon pit where not everyone who was in the north is present. Friki says Dany will bring the unsullied and Dothraki incase that Cersei has a trap for her and places her armies outside Kings landings doors ready in case of a trap. Jamie and Bronn ov

Game of thrones season 7 episode 5 script : Jon Snow pets Drogon on the head... [ Contains Spoilers ]

Here's the script for episode 5: [ These are translations from FD(Freaky Doctor)'s videos on Youtube ] This is a summary NOT verbatim. There is no new relevant info from what I could understand other than scene order (and maybe "Sansa vs the Northern Lords"). Make of it what u wish, feel free to hate, preferably add or correct if that is the case. Though I think I'm doing OK, I'm not a native Spanish speaker (nor English). I'm using Friki's videos to practice my Spanish. Ep.5 starts w/ the aftermath of Field of Fire 2.0 Bronn is scolding Jaime "what were u think"; Jamie is troubled (how is he going to tell Cersei about this overwhelming defeat). Next Tarlys' "trial" - Dany rounds up the prisoners while the Dothraki pillage whatever they can. Dany tells the Tarleys to bend the knee, they both refuse( Randyll shouts Cersei is my queen). Then FD rants about Dickon ("know by some as Rickon" wink wink) being bor
