This strengthens the film director’s argument. Since the studio will have exclusive rights to this new technology going forward, it seems more likely that the studio will profit from investing in this technology during this current film project.

This strengthens the argument. The director explains why there is little risk of not recovering the cost even if the film is unsuccessful. But if the film is successful at the box office, as this answer choice suggests it will be, then the risk of not recovering production costs seems even smaller.

This doesn't weaken the argument. The film director has already accounted for scenarios where the film loses money at the box office. The director's conclusion isn't based on ticket sales, but on future returns from investing in this new special-effects technology.

This weakens the argument. It suggests that investing in this special-effects technology may not be a worthwhile investment, as it may never be used again. Since that’s the only way the film director mentions that the studio will recover costs, this undermines the film director’s argument that it’s likely the studio will recover costs.

This somewhat supports the film director’s argument. The special-effects technology would save the studio money on producing future films, which might help it recover the costs of this film in the long run.
