THE WALL STREET JOURNAL – Domain Capital Group, an alternative-investment manager that helped finance Oscar-winning films “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners,” raised $768 million to back assets that benefit from the rising demand created by streaming platforms and broader adoption of smart devices.
That’s slightly more than the $700 million that Domain collected in 2022 for its debut entertainment fund and a related co-investment vehicle. The firm has already fully deployed the first fund, according to Pete Chiappetta, the Domain managing director who oversees the entertainment strategy.
The latest fund attracted a diverse group of investors, from high-net-worth individuals to corporate and public pensions and school endowments, he said.
Domain’s new fund will focus on investments in film libraries, television assets and music catalogs along with other entertainment-related areas, such as books, theatrical productions and sports. Chiappetta said he expects the average investment check sizes to be around $30 million.
