I just saw terrifier 3 and somehow that shit made +$42 million in the box office with a $2 million dollar budget. That's nearly a 20x return and I'm sure net out some other shit point is the return profile is crazy and I want it. Idek what you'd actually be investing in (royalties?

Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights into firms with a movie investment strategy:
Film Funds: These are specialized funds that raise capital specifically to invest in film projects. An example from the WSO context is a 3(c)7 film fund, which partners with film and television production companies to finance a slate of films. Such funds often have distribution deals with studios.
Private Investment Firms: Some private equity or private credit firms invest in niche assets, including movie rights. These firms have the latitude to invest in unconventional strategies, including film financing.
Family Offices: Certain family offices, which manage the wealth of high-net-worth individuals, may invest in film projects. They often have a long-term investment horizon and can afford to invest in high-risk, high-reward ventures like movies.
Hedge Funds: Some hedge funds have private market arms that invest in a variety of assets, including film projects. These investments are typically part of a broader strategy to diversify their portfolios.
For a more specific example, the WSO context mentions a film fund raising $250 million to finance films over five years, similar to Legendary Pictures but on a smaller scale. This indicates that there are structured investment opportunities in the film industry that can yield significant returns.
If you're looking to invest on a project-by-project basis, you might consider exploring these types of firms or funds that have a focus on film investments.

Investing in movies has to be one of the most volatile areas that is impossible to underwrite. You can have a great producer, director, cast, story, budget, and it will still flop due to viewer sentiment.
