Private Equity & Fund Investors Flock to Movie Business After the Recent $3.5 Billion Sale of Legendary
Beverly Hills, January 15, 2016 (Newswire.com) - $3.5 Billion is a huge transaction and high revenue return for some of the institutional and retail investors behind Legendary Pictures. The company's recent sale to China's Wanda group proves that the valuation of investing in media & entertainment companies is not just limited to short term revenues, but also long term library rights and IP.
Noci Pictures is looking to attract a variety of investors for its new opportunity geared to combined film, tv, and digital in a global marketplace.
"Historically, investors were limited to a movie's profits based on theatrical, video, and DVD", adds Yuri Rutman, Managing Partner of Noci Pictures. "But now its a level playing field with the explosion of OTT, Digital Cinema Distribution, and VOD, along with hedging strategies that can get investors back a majority of their invested equity prior to revenues".
For a while Noci Pictures put its fund raising efforts on hold until the capital markets became more active again. It is now putting together a large private equity capital raise open to accredited retail investors and institutional investors.
"If you look at the box office revenues of some of the the most profitable films today they were all backed by private investors. These groups are not in it for red carpet parties but long-term equity plays. Further, some of the most conservative investors are coming out of the woods to pursue opportunities such as ours because the ROI on stocks, mutual funds, real estate, oil & gas, and a majority of tech startups don't have dependable transparency models"
Noci Pictures' business model is structured on having a more transparent and risk minimized organization that gives investors a privileged opportunity to invest in media & entertainment deals.
"The convergence and growth of theater screens, digital distribution, video on demand, and risk strategies is proving to be a superior business model on the evolution of a 100 year old industry vs. a lot of investors who are spreading their risk across many startups hoping for a lottery ticket win", adds Rutman."
