| Tiivistelmä: | This paper investigates how risky movie business is, and is there any strategies to reduce that risk, using a sample of 2000 motion pictures. Box office revenues are asymptotically Pareto-distributed and have infinitive variance. There is no typical movie because box office revenue outcomes do not converge to an average: Revenues diverge over all scales. The studio model of risk management lacks a foundation in theory of evidence and revenue forecasts have zero precision. The audience makes a movie a hit and "star power" of marketing cannot alter that. |
