But the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson hinted that LuckyChap has “a clear point of view” on the upcoming “Monopoly” movie.
While announcing at CinemaCon, Adam Fogelson said, “I could not imagine a better production team for this beloved and iconic brand than LuckyChap.”
“They are exceptional producers who choose their projects with great thought and care, and join Monopoly with a clear point of view. We are tremendously excited to be working with the entire LuckyChap team on what we all believe can be their next blockbuster.”
According to the studio, Monopoly is the world’s most popular board game brand. The game has 99% global awareness.
Monopoly is available in more than 100 countries across the globe, selling nearly half a billion copies going back to 1935.
