Hollywood investors are some of the most risk-averse types ever. If it pays x% return fairly predictably, they're going to keep making the same things over and over until it doesn't. For example, I also saw today that yet another Rambo movie is about to be released. Forty years of profits, can't argue with that! I don't think there's many from that crowd who invest in tech startups.

That makes sense. Especially since these blockbusters have all gotten so capital intensive! > I don't think there's many from that crowd who invest in tech startups. I meet a fair number of LA types that want to invest in SV types, and that is a portfolio play (one win can cover 9 losses), but they appear to at least "want to play" with the people who make outragous returns off minimal up-front (think: the leverage of instagram at point of purchase -- it's romantic! that's the stuff of gold-rushes right there)
