Step into 2010 as a fresh film studio owner facing market upheaval from a looming global health crisis. Build your empire by crafting movies with selected genres, subgenres, themes, and screenwriters, then negotiate salaries or box office shares with actors, directors, and producers. Time releases for holidays, pick strategies like exclusive theater runs, hybrid models, or direct-to-streaming, and expand from US and Canada to EMEA, APAC, and LATAM while dodging rivals and selling rights for cash.
Genres and themes shift in strength based on industry moves, letting you chase sequels, prizes, and auxiliary revenue to outlast changes. This indie strategy simulation challenges players who enjoy deep management loops and adaptive business decisions in a volatile entertainment world.
The year is 2010 and you are the newest film studio owner and distributor. A major global health crisis will occur after a few years and movie theaters will lose their strength. You will have to prepare for the new reality while the world doesn't return to normal.
