You own the studio. Greenlight movies and TV shows, cast them from a deep roster of stars, directors and composers, then push them through every release window on the calendar.
Build the slate
Pick Movie or TV Show, set genre and subgenre, an age rating (U, PG, 12, 15, 18) and a runtime slider — plus an episode count for shows.
Cast up to three leads from 44 actors, hire one of 22 directors and one of 16 composers. Fees and star power drive your budget; talent and genre fit drive the quality score.
Start a new franchise or add to one you already own.
Movies take 8 weeks to produce. TV shows take 4 weeks plus one week per episode.
Work the release windows
Send movies into a 6-week theatrical run with decaying weekly box office, or premiere shows on TV for one week per episode.
Or skip the run: go straight to DVD, or straight to your streaming service.
Theatrical and TV titles reach their DVD window 4 weeks after the run ends; streaming releases are available for DVD immediately. Bundle a franchise's discs into a collector's boxset.
Take over the town
Six rival studios greenlight and release their own films and shows and build their own franchises.
Buy the rights to a franchise and every released title in it becomes yours — or buy the whole studio and take its entire released library.
Run your own streaming service: add your finished titles for free, licence rival titles for a small fee, and watch subscribers and weekly revenue track your library's size and quality.
Advance one week at a time, or four at once, and read the studio log to see where the money went.
Use this short prompt as a starting point. It captures the idea, not the original creator's instructions.
A text-based movie studio tycoon where a weekly calendar drives production, theatrical, TV, DVD and streaming release windows. Buy rival franchises and whole studios to grow your library.
