Business Update: Fackham Hall Delivers for Legion M
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
-Fackham Hall is performing very well on VOD - it likely earned Legion M more in the first week or two of VOD than its entire theatrical run
-After riding the charts for 7+ weeks, we’re still an Amazon top 10 comedy (and top 40 overall!) best-seller.
-At the request of investors, we're offering DVD’s and Blu-Rays ... and throwing in a fun free gift with purchase.
-Those who are interested can still make a direct investment in Fackham Hall via the Legion M Film Fund.
When we sent our last Fackham Hall update - a box-office recap in December - we said the battle for profitability would be won or lost in VOD. We’re happy to report that we’re winning!
THEATRICAL RECAP
If you recall, the movie was released to over 1,100 theaters on December 5th. It was a tight theatrical window – a two week gap between the huge Thanksgiving and Christmas movies. We generated just over $1MM in US box office – not a spectacular result, but one we felt was “good enough” given the window.
VOD RELEASE
However, the whole reason we settled for a tight theatrical window was because it came with a fantastic VOD release date. And that’s where things get interesting...
On Dec 26th, Fackham Hall released on Amazon, Apple, and everywhere you rent/buy movies online. We were perfectly positioned to ride the charts during one of the busiest VOD windows of the year. While we don’t have official results, the movie likely earned more in the first week or two of VOD than its entire theatrical run.
And it just keeps going!
As of this writing, nearly 8 weeks after Fackham Hall’s VOD release, we’re still a top 10 comedy best-seller on Amazon – and a top 40 best seller overall!
And the feedback has been tremendous – when we post about the movie on social media, we receive hundreds of comments from people telling us how much they enjoyed it.
BUSINESS IMPACT
Our goal is to turn Fackham Hall into an Airplane or Pythonesque cult movie. We believe we’re well on the way.
If you are a Legion M investor, this is good news. Our deal with Bleecker Street provides us a share of all revenue generated by Fackham Hall for the 20 year life of the deal. This is a good long-term revenue stream that brings Legion M one step closer to profitability.
LEGION M FILM FUND
If you want to invest directly in Fackham Hall, there’s still time to join the Legion M Film Fund. Phase I of the fund (for accredited investors) is open now, and Phase II (for everyone else) is open for reservations.
Is it normal to sell an investment in a movie was released months ago and is off to such a good start? No.
But we’re a fan-owned company, which means we report to YOU. We're doing everything we can to hold the door open so those who are interested can participate.
DVD/BLU-RAYS
DVDs and Blu-Rays are already available on Amazon, but many investors told us they’d prefer to buy from Legion M.
Amazon is cheaper (especially if you already pay for Prime shipping), but buying from Legion M is a LOT more fun.
That’s because we have a limited number of Premiere Gift Bags left over from the Fackham Hall NYC premiere that we’re including as a free gift with purchase while supplies last. For details, check out the offer in Legion M shop.
