Investment thesis
Outlaw cinema-only thesis
We invest exclusively in genre — B-movies, sci-fi, creature features, westerns, found-footage. A focused slate, a focused audience.
Sub-$3M budgets
Independent outlaw cinema's sweet spot. Lower break-evens, faster paths to profitability, and the format that gave us Mad Max, Night of the Living Dead, and El Mariachi.
Streaming integrated
Every funded film gets a slot on Planet Outlaw. Investors stream what they backed and earn a share of platform revenue.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a 1966 Italian epic spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood as 'the Good', Lee Van Cleef as 'the Bad', and Eli Wallach as 'the Ugly'.
Preview only. No securities are being offered. Terms, IRR targets, and allocations are illustrative and subject to formal offering documents.
What every Planet Outlaw deal looks like.
Standardized across the slate so you're not re-reading legalese for every film. Individual campaigns publish full offering circulars at launch.
Own a slice of the scream — not just a ticket.
Fractional film investing splits a outlaw film's financing into small, regulated equity stakes — so the audience that lines up for the midnight show can also own the upside.
What it is
A fractional stake is a small, real ownership slice of a outlaw film. Instead of one financier writing a $1M check, hundreds of fans each take a piece — from $25 up. You're on the cap table, not a tip jar.
How it works
Pick a film, pick your stake. If the campaign hits its goal, your pledge converts into fractional equity and the cameras roll. If it doesn't, you owe nothing. When the film earns, you earn pro-rata for the life of the title.
Why it's legal
Every outlaw offering runs through our regulated fractionalization partner under SEC Regulation Crowdfunding. KYC, escrow, disclosures and quarterly statements — the same investor protections as any regulated securities offering.

Pick a stake. See what a modest hit looks like.
Outlaw cinema has the best ROI profile in cinema — Paranormal Activity, Saw, The Blair Witch Project all returned hundreds to one. This is the modest case: festival run, streaming deal, regional theatrical. The full model with downside lives below.
Every film becomes its own economic system.
Behind every pledge is a two-layer framework — one built for the audience, one built for the system. Together they turn a outlaw film into a structured, participatory asset.
All-or-nothing financing
A project only activates once it's fully funded. No partial budgets, no half-shot productions, no capital deployed until the full stack is in place.
Non-speculative & non-tradable
Your participation is tied to a specific film's real-world performance — not a secondary market. No day-trading, no flipping, no speculation.
Compliant by design
Every offering is structured upfront and managed by our regulated fractionalization partners. Transparent terms, defined allocations, jurisdictional coverage.
Closed-loop economics
Revenue from streaming, licensing, and distribution flows back through the Planet Outlaw platform to participants — for the entire lifecycle of the film.
A $1.2M creature feature, 24,000 backers, $50 a REEL.
Instead of one financier writing the check, the budget is distributed across thousands of outlaw fans. Once the campaign is fully funded, production begins immediately and distribution on Planet Outlaw is guaranteed. Revenue from streaming, licensing and events flows back through the platform to participants.
Illustrative example. Actual budgets, REEL prices and allocations vary per offering and are disclosed upfront.
What could a stake return?
A rough model based on typical independent outlaw cinema economics. Move the sliders to see how the math changes — illustration only, not a projection.
Three pillars. Stacked, they cover the budget.
No single source does it alone. Tax credits, streaming licensing and theatrical/MGs each cover roughly a third — combined, the film hits breakeven before release.
Produced in jurisdictions offering 25–40% production tax credits and rebates. Government incentives that directly reduce the recoupable budget.
Planet Outlaw's outlaw streaming platform pays out per region. Licensing fees lock in another 30-40% of the budget through guaranteed distribution.
Pre-negotiated genre theatrical windows and minimum guarantees in non-streaming territories lock in the final ~30% — contracted in advance, not speculated.
The recoupment waterfall, in plain English
Returns don't arrive in one cheque. Each revenue window flips a layer of the waterfall — here's the order they hit.
- Month 0–6
Production wraps
Tax credits monetize and return ~30–40% of budget back into the recoupment waterfall before a single ticket sells.

How a small pledge becomes a real ownership stake.
Every backer walks the same five steps. No middlemen pocketing your money, no perks-only "tip jar" — a regulated path from pledge to equity to payout in outlaw cinema's most underfunded corners.
- STEP 01
You pledge
From $25. No money moves yet — your card is authorized, not charged.
- STEP 02
Held in escrow
Pledges held in a regulated escrow account until the campaign closes.
- STEP 03
Goal hit
If the outlaw film closes funded, your pledge clears. If not, $0 charged.
- STEP 04
Equity issued
You're on the cap table — a real fractional security, not a perk.
- STEP 05
