What are prediction markets?

A prediction market taps into the knowledge of a large, incentivized community to forecast the outcomes of real-world events. By rewarding accurate predictions, these markets turn individual opinions into powerful collective insights — revealing the wisdom of the crowd.

It's a simple but remarkable idea: when thousands of people make predictions, the market price becomes a real-time reflection of collective wisdom.

Prediction trading at Story Inc. is built on one simple, powerful question: Will this event happen? On Story Inc., that collective wisdom is applied specifically to film and television — letting fans predict everything from box office performance and Rotten Tomatoes scores to casting decisions and award nominations.

How it works on Story Inc.

Story Inc. is the first prediction market for film and television — where movie fans and filmmakers come together to shape what stories get told and how they reach the screen.

Story Inc. is free to join, and all predictions are made using Story Cash (SC) — a free in-app currency.

Each prediction on Story Inc. is tied to an event contract — something that will or won't happen in the real world. We call each of these Market Questions.

Examples

• What will the Rotten Tomatoes score be for Apple's new TV show?
• Will this car chase scene make the final cut?
• What will the box office performance be for Paramount's new movie?
• Will this film get an Oscar nomination?

You can buy contracts using Story Cash (SC) to make your prediction — whether it's a simple yes/no or a choice between various outcomes (e.g. box office revenue, casting). As more fans participate, the market prices move — showing what the community collectively believes is most likely to happen.

The Power of Predictions

On Story Inc., most Market Questions come directly from filmmakers who want to test ideas, gauge audience reactions, or compare creative choices. Every prediction becomes part of a larger feedback loop between fans, creators, and studios.

It's the power of prediction markets applied to storytelling — where the collective voice of film fans helps shape the future of entertainment.

In short:

• Each Market Question is an event contract
• Each prediction is a signal
• Together, they turn insight into influence — and fans into creative collaborators
