The H Collective is a United States–based film finance, production, marketing and distribution company founded in 2017.[2] The company was founded by Chinese financier Kenneth Huang and has Chinese and American backers. THC is headquartered in Los Angeles,[1] and it has offices in Shanghai and Berlin.[3] THC's "first global title" was the 2019 film Brightburn,[4] for which it was developing a sequel in 2023.[5] THC acquired the rights to the XXX film series from Revolution Studios in 2018 to produce a fourth film,[6] but faced a lawsuit from Weying Galaxy in 2020 over alleged misrepresentation and unauthorized transactions concerning those rights.[7]

In 2019, THC formed a partnership with Japanese technology conglomerate Rakuten,[8] although it ended by 2023.[5] THC expanded its operations to Saudi Arabia, focusing on film development and production in the Arabic-speaking market.[9] THC also ventured into integrating Metaverse, Web3, and AI technologies into film production through its new subsidiary, H3 Entertainment.[5]

A 2024 investigation by Deadline Hollywood revealed that Kenneth Huang left the company with numerous lawsuits, substantial debts, and unresolved disputes, leading to his disappearance.[10]
