How would I go about investing in an A type Hollywood movie?

If I want to invest say $20,000 into an A type Hollywood movie how do I go about do that? Is it even possible?|||There are some limited partnerships for movies made by, say, people like Seth Rogen.


That gets really dicey, and you cannot get into the top movies that way.


Investing in large studios is a much easier way to do it, but you are one step removed from the process and the risk is watered down.





It used to be done alot from the mid1980s to the mid1990s. Directors and producers would get together for say, 4 films, and they would go looking for partners to finance those films. Then the investors would get a return based on how well all four did. For that reason, you used to see several movies come out one after another from the same director/producer combo.





I can say categorically that you will not be able to buy into an A class movie with 20k. You will have to take more risk, or buy shares of a studio.


Good luck.





By the way. Funny you asked. Spike Lee came out 20 years ago THIS WEEK with DO THE RIGHT THING. Rumor has it that he borrowed about 25k on a credit card to make the movie. It was a huge hit and made him an instant millionaire. Huge risk. Huge reward. Consider making your own movies if you are so inclined.
