Movie Business - Die Welt der Filme

Do you have what it takes to turn a small film studio into a global entertainment empire?

In Movie Business, you step into the shoes of an aspiring producer on the edge of the Dream Factory. With modest starting capital and huge ambitions, it is up to you to write film history. From the first draft of a script to the glamorous premiere, every decisive step is in your hands.

Choose the perfect script from a constantly changing market or commission your own writers to create the next masterpiece. Discover hidden gems among actors and directors or sign established but expensive stars to lead your project to success. Every artist has unique skills, preferences, and quirks that will influence your production.

But a good script and a star-studded cast are just the beginning. As a producer, you make the tough decisions: Set the budget for crew, locations, and special effects. Determine the creative focus of your film and navigate through unforeseen events during shooting – from brilliant acting performances to conflicts on set.

Once the film is in the can, the battle for the audience's attention begins. Negotiate with distributors for the best deal, plan the release, and hope that your work conquers the box office charts and wins awards at renowned film festivals.

But it’s about more than just the next movie. You will expand your own studio lot with specialized buildings, research groundbreaking new technologies, speculate on the stock market with competitors' shares, and manage your finances down to the last detail. Even your private life as CEO plays a role in your reputation and opportunities.

Face the ruthless competition, also vying for the viewers' favor, and lead your studio through the decades.

Will your name be immortalized in Hollywood's history books? The spotlight is waiting for you.
