To qualify for a yes, the movie should portray negative actions the CCP took during the Covid crisis.

It should be at least partly fictionalized and not a documentary.

It should have a budget of at least 100m USD and be released before jan 1 2035

Is 100m USD inflation adjusted?

I don't understand it because a menacing CCP is an amazing villain. But Hollywood is too in bed with them to actually do it apparently. So I'm voting no for emotional arbitrage

The Big Short had a budget of 50 million USD, according to google. It's not clear why a movie about COVID, even if at least partly fictionalized, would cost more than that movie (which had many stars).

@NicholasKross In writing the claim I was thinking something big, like a top thriller. You have a point that there is another type of market that could be made, but that's not what this one covers.

I'm going to keep creating variants of the market until I figure out what's going on.
