You manage a movie theater, starting with a small operation and working to grow it. Choose which films to show and plan their times to suit your audience and fill your screening rooms.
Handle daily cinema work by selling tickets, serving popcorn and drinks, keeping the venue clean, and responding to disruptive customers, including smokers and people recording films. You can take on these jobs yourself or hire staff to help.
Earn money to upgrade and expand your cinema, decorate its spaces, and develop your team. You can also add a buffet and drive-in service, and reviews describe the option to screen films using your own video and poster.
Players who enjoy the game often like the hands-on work of running a cinema and watching it grow through upgrades and staff hires. Custom movie screenings, decorating theaters, and operating a drive-in also stand out as appealing features. At the same time, many reviews describe bugs, a short progression path, or the business becoming largely automated after hiring staff.
