Cover Story: This paper defines a daily index representing the risk–return on investments in the American film industry. The index predicts the riskiness and the expected return of movie projects at the level of the overall industry and could be used to determine a premium for insurance for such an investment. Though not currently legal in the United States, such an index could be employed in other countries by film production companies as well as venture capitalists interested in investing in motion picture productions, or, more broadly, in the holdings of a media conglomerate, an exhibition chain, or some other aspect of the media landscape. View this paper.
