You Can Trade:

MovieStocks
MovieStocks represent films (both in the process of being made and that are currently in theaters) that are traded on the Movie Market™. The price of a MovieStock reflects how much money traders think the film will make domestically in its first four weeks at the box office. This gives you the chance to play your predictions on new movies.

StarBonds
How would you like to own a piece of Harrison Ford? What about Drew Barrymore? Well, HSX makes dreams a reality by offering you a chance to purchase a piece of your favorite Hollywood commodity. A StarBond represents actors and directors traded on the Movie Market. The price of a StarBond reflects overall star power as determined by HSX traders, as well as how much money their films make at the box office as determined by their trailing average gross (TAG).

Options
Options are Hollywood Derivatives based around a specific event. For example, “call” and “put” options are released opening weekend of a particular MovieStock. Each option has a “strike price” that is set according to what the market expects the film to gross in its opening weekend. The value of an option is determined by the supply and demand of the market.

Funds
