there are only 27 films in all of history that have done over 1 billion worldwide. itd be huge and hugely unlikely to have just 1 film in a lifetime make a billion.[/quote]
Not that flyer needs my help but I think he said $1Bn in revenue, not just box office sales. Films also make money in other ways like product licensing/merchandising, broadcast rights, DVD/ Home Video sales, etc.. Also he didn’t say what he did and indicated he was part of a group. That group could be a large company like Dreamworks, or Miramax, or MGM.
Also, I don’t think it’s hugely unlikely to have 1 film in a lifetime make a billion. I would like to see the list and see how many of those were within my lifetime.[/quote]
According to the chart below, scaredy is absolutely correct regarding the number of films that have grossed $1B+ in the worldwide market. As previously mentioned, thanks to my wife’s connections in the business, our group has invested in several over the past years, and we look forward to continuing to do so.
