Looking for a recession proof investment? Are you interested in getting in on something that actually does BETTER during a recession? Here is an investment with open ended profit potential.This type of investment may at first seem risky, but it isn't really that risky. And it can be fun for you too! These days it is a no brainer to say that it beats stocks and real estate. But can it really be recession or depression proof? In a moment, I will let you in on the surprise. Warren Buffet states frequently that he only invests in companies where he likes and trusts the management. Well, this project has honest and accomplished management. (I have had people tell me that I am "too honest"..... I let them have their opinion.) And I am investing my own money in this project. I am seeking investors with 10K up who want to triple their money. Below are bits from three articles which support the recession proof, depression proof concept. There is also a link to watch an online video which lets you see what the actual product is. |
Here are the facts: |
The economic downturn is squeezing consumer spending, but there's one corner of the consumer pocketbook that'll emerge unscathed from the "R" word. Movie going is pretty much recession proof: Box office receipts have grown over six of the last seven recessions. (according to Lehman Brothers analyst Eric Handler). It's fairly simple. When the economy is suffering, people want to escape their troubles, and going to the movies is a fairly affordable luxury. With the average movie ticket price at eight dollars, a trip to an air-conditioned theater is a great activity when you're not spending money on road trips. And movies are probably the cheapest out-of-home entertainment, with concerts and sporting events being pricier than ever. (The above by Julia Boorstin, CNBC reporter.) |
When the economy falls, the demand for escapist entertainment rises. History has proven this over and over again. During "The Great Depression" (1929 - 1939) 25% of American families had no income and 40% of factory workers were unemployed. In 1930 there were 200,000 evictions in New York City alone. Despite this, movie box office receipts during the 1930s soared 22%. In many cases people elected to see a movie, rather than eat. That's how desperately people needed to escape (mentally) from the weight of their problems. (The above by Guy Bennett, Ezine Articles) |
There simply is no business with manufacturing capital entry requirements as low as motion pictures where the potential return can be as unlimited over the short, medium and long terms. Hide the Gold If you were hiking alone in the middle of nowhere and you found nuggets of gold in a river - too many to carry home in one trip - what would you do? Would you go into town telling everyone that you found gold and you need help carrying it? No, you would probably be a little reserved, perhaps even nepotistic and tell only your family and closest friends. This, in part, is not unlike the movie industry. For those in the know-how and those in the loop (spelled "Hollywood Insiders" or "The Club" or the "Control Group"), movies are excellent investments - and the same would just as rather have that fact obscured (as fully explicated in a book called FATAL SUBTRACTION by attorney Pierce O'Donnell and Dennis McDougal). Ironically, that little phrase: "THESE SECURITIES INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK" is very convenient to The Club, even if it IS required under security laws. Human Beings have been known to hide the gold, or make it unsafe to enter the "forbidden" zone. (Source, "Why Invest in a Movie?" by James Jaeger.) |

December 3, 2008, by Sue Zeidler, Reuters reporter. NEW YORK (Reuters) - True to form and in keeping with past recessions, Americans are flocking to the movies, the chief executive of the largest U.S. theater chain said on Wednesday. "We're approximately two-thirds of the way through the quarter, and we are having a very good fourth quarter this year compared to last year as an industry," Regal Entertainment Group's CEO Mike Campbell told Reuters. Movie theaters are seeing double-digit growth in box office revenue and high single-digit growth in attendance so far this quarter. He said the movie industry has done well during all the recessions in the past 50 years. "It is still the most affordable out of home entertainment option," he said. Regal owns 549 theaters operating 6,754 screens. |
By David Friend, The Canadian Press, February 12, 2009 TORONTO - A surge of Canadians heading to movie theatres during the recession has helped cinema chain operator Cineplex Galaxy Income Fund (TSX:CGX.UN) turn a fourth-quarter profit and record its best year ever. Total revenues in the quarter rose to $211.4 million from a year-earlier $182.6 million. Concession revenues - from the sale of popcorn, drinks and snacks, a significant profit driver for exhibitors - increased 21.3 per cent to $61.4 million. The average concession revenue per patron rose to $4.03 from $3.87. "You'd assume that people would be spending less, but they're not," said Andy Nasr, an analyst at the Raymond James brokerage. Cinema chains also tend to thrive in a bad economy because they're considered a relatively cheap form of entertainment, even with the massive growth in sales of DVD players, flat-screen TVs and DVD movies in recent years. Cineplex is the largest motion picture exhibitor in Canada, with ownership interests in 130 theatres with 1,331 screens from British Columbia to Quebec. The company has a workforce of more than 8,000 people and operates through such brands as Cineplex Odeon, Galaxy, Famous Players, Colossus, Coliseum, SilverCity, Cinema City and Scotiabank Theatres. |
New film distribution sources open the doors wide for the indie producer; The so-called "Netflix effect" www.netflix.com/ is giving customers access to an infinite library of movies by mail--making it even easier to land a blockbuster paycheck from a low budget film. A downloadable film industry is taking flight, with Wal-Mart www.walmart.com/ , Apple www.apple.com/ and Amazon www.amazon.com/ getting into the game. New forms of online distribution, such as online video streaming are becoming extremely popular. The www.MovieMatrixs.com is leading what it calls the online revolution in the film industry by creating an online distribution hub for high quality independent movies and documentaries. A talented producer and director can now make a focus-grouped film for peanuts and with just a little luck retire in Malibu. The above is part of an article by MEGA HIT FILMS, March 21, 2009 |
This demo scene was recently sold to Moviola as a stand alone short film. Altogether, I have sold the broadcast rights to 7 of my short films. My movies sell! I am confident Sam and Leah will sell easily for broadcast on TV. Even with only one TV sale this movie will make money! |
