We assume that the past data reflects the future probabilities of sequel production and success of movies.
We are making an important assumption that the studio will have retained interest in producing a sequel after Arundel Partners have bought the rights.

    Delaware County, Indiana is home to 117,074 people according to the United States census.

    The Virginia Plan Case Study

    The Virginia Plan, drafted by James Madison and proposed at the Constitutional Convention by Edmund Randolph, was to install a national government with a bicameral legislature and was to be comprised by representative that held seats, in the new congress, in proportion to each states population. After the delegates at convention accepted the Virginia Plan as a basis to build on the national government, debate quickly arose against the share of distributed legislative power the northern states would have over the southern states to make national policy. This was due to the northern states having much larger populations than those of the south, but since the southern states had amassed a large number of slaves, it was believed that the southern representation in congress should also include the slave population. The northern states were opposed to this idea given that slaves were generally…

    I believe this argument is a weak argument because the premises are not reasonable to believe. In order to be a strong argument, premises must be reasonable. I the case of this argument it is not reasonable to believe premise B. Although there are some sequels being made from other movies and content that is not a cause for movie titles in general to increase in size. I also have a problem with a lack of determination of what is a long and what is a short titled movie in his article. There is no effort given to describe statistically what the length movie titles have been in previous years compared to the present, nor has he given information regarding the number of sequels that have been made. I believe that he is making the more general assumption that all movie titles are getting longer regardless of being a sequel or not given the content of the entire article which is hard to…

    Arundel Partners Case Study

    In April of 1992, a movie industry analyst name Mr. David Davis of Paul Kegan Associates, Inc. was approached with an interesting and fresh business idea. The proposal was to create a new investment group, Arundel Partners, that would exist solely for the purpose of purchasing sequel rights to motion pictures produced by major U.S. movie studios. The proposal was unusual in that studios rarely sold rights to sequels prior to 1992, and interesting in the sense that it did not target specific movies or negotiate prices based on performance of the first movie. Instead, Arundel wanted to create a portfolio of options to produce all sequels at a studio for a given time period. The incentive to the studios is that Arundel…
