If there were 30 Avatars in the run of a year, and movie-goers flocked to the theaters, I'm pretty sure it would have a positive impact. The great thing about CGX.UN is that they have a large percentage of market share in Canada and competition is not a huge concern as of now. CGX currently pays a distribution of about 6%.

Would probably see it again now if I had the opportunity (time is very scarce right now!!!). Does CGX.UN move with movies in general in your opinion? @ The Rat – I also loved it, and saw it twice.

I knew it was going to be good because James Cameron was linked to it and he is all about quality. Personally, I would love to be able to invest on movies in some form of investment vehicle. As you mention, an ETF of some kind is not only amusing to think about but would be pretty interesting. I have a position in CGX.UN and I find its a great way to add diversification to my portfolio. Plus, I enjoy movies a lot so by going to some of the theaters, I'm investing in myself! Nice post. I was one of those who contributed to the Avatar craze, and enjoyed it in 3D.
