Movie Investment Opportunities
The movie industry is one of the most exciting businesses in the world, a business where the revenue of a single feature film (such as Titanic), can approach or exceed $1 billion.
In 1998, worldwide gross revenues generated by motion pictures in all territories and media (including music and ancillaries) amounted to over $40 billion. Over 70% of the population rents or goes to movies regularly, thus accounting for over 1.5 billion movie attendances each year in the U.S.
Prior to 1985, feature motion pictures had one major source of revenue in the United States and abroad: the movie theater. Today much of the world is undergoing a mass communications revolution, hence, new movie markets (such as home video, cable and pay-per-view) have been growing so rapidly that they are no longer just ancillary markets to the basic theatrical market, but have become basic markets in themselves.
Industry statistics reveal that the past ten years have marked an overall increase of at least 30% in many "ancillary markets", and over 200% , as in the case of home video. The ability to exploit a movie in multiple markets diminishes investment risk and increases earning potential.
The advent of new computer-based technologies, cable markets, direct digital-delivery of motion pictures via satellite and the Internet are expected to dramatically accelerate demand for original and re-run motion pictures over the next five years.
Wits'-End Entertainment is tapping into this entertainment boom with a slate of high-concept, low-cost motion pictures currently seeking financing. For more information, email .
