Movies and theater productions are ephemeral businesses. As are popup stores.

  Garage/Estate/Yard sales as well. Movie and Theater is sort of both ephemeral and not - there's theaters, production companies, theater troops, etc. which are more permanent, but assembling them into a project is like building a working city from ready-made components, and then disassembling it once you're done.

  Right, I was looking to see if anybody made this comment. It also seems common for real estate developers. See also "joint ventures" and other subsidiary structures of large companies which may encapsulate certain activities and their corresponding risks and liabilities.
