Fans of all ages of the “Bupphesanniwat” (Love Destiny) hit TV series four years ago may get the chance to see the long-awaited “Bupphesanniwat 2” movie, as the Kubix Digital Asset company limited unveils a plan raise 265 million baht through a public offering of its digital “Destiny Token” to finance the movie’s production.
Kubix Digital Asset Managing Director Apinya Ruangthaveekoon said yesterday that the filming of the hit TV period drama is a joint venture project between the GDH 559 production company and the Broadcast Thai Television company limited.
16,087 tokens will be offered to investors via an initial coin offering (ICO) portal, once an approval is granted by Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
The maturity period of the tokens is two years and the rate of return for investors is 2.99% per annum but, if the movie grosses more than one billion baht, the rate of return will be increased by 2.01% to 5%.
Apinya said that interested investors can register through the Kubix app, which is set to be available for download in March.
GDH 559 CEO, Jina Osothsilp, said that idea of offering the digital tokens to the public is intended to give fans of the drama an opportunity to get involved in the production of the movie and to help in the promotion of the Thai film industry.
