Angela's $tock portfolio

Lions Gate
  • Industry: Movie production, theaters 
  • Direct competitors: DreamWorks Studios (privately held), Imagine Entertainment (privately held), and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. (privately held) 
  • "The Twilight Effect on Short-Term Investment" 
  • Breaking Dawn II comes out November 16th
    1. Twilight 2008:                  $328,133,300
    2. Eclipse 2010:                    $698,491,347
    3. Breaking Dawn I 2011:     $701,989,889
    4. Breaking Dawn II 2012:          ???
  • It's not just the movie revenue, it's the entire franchise.
  • Lions Gate's stock went up drastically after purchasing the studio (Summit Entertainment) that produces Twilight Saga series in January 2012, and it went up in Feb 2012 when they announced that the Part I DVD will be released. 
  • Ever since the Twilight Purchase Lions Gate's stock has performed better when compared to the rest of its competitors in the industry, and it seems like Breaking Dawn II could be a happy finale both plot and revenue wise. :)

Disney
  • Industry: Entertainment 
    • Don't have a separate one for Walt Disney Studio Entertainment, but this could be better.
  • Same logic as Lions Gate (I went through all the upcoming movies in the next three months trying to identify the upcoming "blockbuster movies" 
  • Disney's animations have always been a hit worldwide, appealing to kids and adults:
    1. Tangled (2010):             $590,721,936
    2. Cars 2 (2011):                $191,450,875
    3. Toy Story 3 (2011):       $1,063,171,911
    4. Wreck-It Ralph (2012):           ???
  • Wreck-It Ralph Trailer: http://youtu.be/87E6N7ToCxs
  • Diversity: From its ownership of parks and resorts, consumer products, TV stations, etc., it could be a horizontal victory for Disney all around because of Wreck-It Ralph
    • Disney world
    • Lunch bags
    • Toys
    • T-shirts
    • TV show (e.g., The Emperor's New Groove -> The Emperor's New School)
  • Glad to hear Mary's friend in finance approves!

--

Upcoming movies include:
  • Mirage
    • Silver Linings Playbook (November 21)
  • FOX
    • Life of Pi (November 21)
  • DreamWorks
    • Rise of Guardians (November 21)
Evidently (or not so evidently), Twilight and Wreck-It Ralph are going to be the winners in the next 3 months. :)
