The North Carolina filmed movie Masterminds will be available on digital January 17th 2017; its DVD and Blu-Ray release is scheduled for January 31st 2017. Masterminds is a comedy feature based on the 1990’s Loomis Fargo bank heist in Charlotte, NC and incidents that followed staring  Zach Galifianakis, Kate McKinnon, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis and Leslie Jones.

The production, which was heavily recruited by the N.C. Film Office for two years, filmed in Bumcombe, Haywood and Macon counties in Summer 2014. It had a direct in-state spend of more than $18 million while creating 982 job opportunities, including approximately 300 well-paying crew positions for the state’s highly-trained film professional work force. Masterminds was one of 50 productions that year which combined accounted for $316 million being spent in North Carolina and more than 19,000 job opportunities being offered with production taking place in more than one-third of the state’s counties.
