What are prediction markets?

A prediction market taps into the knowledge of a large, incentivized community. By rewarding accurate predictions, these markets turn individual opinions into powerful collective insights — revealing the intelligence 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 happen – yes or no?

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.

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

  • Will this actor be cast in the upcoming A24 film?
  • Will this trailer reach 5 million views in its first week?
  • Will this car chase scene make the final cut?

You can buy "Yes" or "No" contracts using Story Cash (SC) to make your prediction. As more fans participate, the market price moves — showing what the community collectively believes is most likely to happen.

The Power of Yes and No

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
