Case Study: LSC Film Corporation achieves major film-financing wins and $20M lower closing costs with Palisade's @RISK

LSC Film Corporation - Customer Case Study

LSC Film Corporation, led by president Benjamin Waisbren, faced the challenge of quantifying uncertainty and negotiating financing for major Hollywood productions. To model box office volatility, budget burn rates, and deal risk across complex co‑financings, LSC turned to Palisade’s @RISK software to inform negotiations and investment decisions.

Palisade’s @RISK provided probabilistic modeling and scenario analysis that helped LSC finalize funding on films including Spider‑Man 2 and navigate a $200 million co‑financing deal with Sony. Using @RISK, LSC avoided outside advisors, reduced closing costs by about $20 million, produced reliable opening‑weekend and cash‑burn forecasts, and secured managerial roles in new film funds—demonstrating measurable cost savings and improved deal outcomes.
