Buy Movie Studio Boss: The Sequel PC key

Movie Studio Boss: The Sequel is a turn-based management game in which you run a new movie studio for 50 years, competing with seven computer-controlled studios. Your performance is judged by turnover, profit and awards, and you can win by leading in any of these areas.

Run a movie studio

You make decisions across the filmmaking process, from setting budgets and choosing a film type to hiring a scriptwriter and director, shaping the screenplay, negotiating with stars, handling problems on set and managing post-production. You then plan the release, including marketing and web publicity, test screenings, the number of cinema screens, international releases, TV sales and when to release a film on DVD.

Each part of the game is designed as a mini-game. Your decisions affect box office results, and the game covers the movie-making process from production through release. Its financial model uses rounded figures, such as $1M rather than $1,067,345.

Weekly turns

Each turn represents a week. You have around 10 minutes to make your decisions, though you can end the week early.

Films and studio staff

Every film has a Production Assistant, who wears a costume related to the film and walks around the studio to show its production stage. The game also includes animated films, musicals, age ratings, personnel profiles, detailed film credits, additional reports and notification icons. It updates the financial model and introduces Blu-ray.
