Movies targeted toward the 50+ crowd are a box office goldmine with recent successes such as Paramount’s Book Club ($68.5M domestic), My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 ($59.6M), and, heck, Warner Bros.’ The Mule crossing $100M at the domestic B.O. last weekend.

Kochoff is repped by ICM Partners and Anonymous Content.

By my count, this is the 1st spec script deal of 2019

There were zero spec script deals year-to-date in 2018.
