Description

The Executive is a sandbox business simulation game that lets you rewrite the history of Hollywood from the 1970s to today. As the founder of a scrappy production company, you’ll produce the movies you’ve always dreamed of, manage ambitious franchises, and build a studio that rivals the industry’s greatest. Navigate the challenges of the movie business, outmaneuver your competition, and decide whether to chase critical acclaim or box office domination.
 

PRODUCE YOUR DREAM MOVIES
 

Bring your cinematic visions to life. Choose themes, genres, and target ratings to shape your creations. Dive deep into screenplay development, cast the hottest stars (or discover hidden talent), and allocate your budget wisely to make each film shine. Every decision impacts your movie’s critical acclaim and box office potential, so craft your masterpieces with care.

 


BUILD AND MANAGE FRANCHISES
 

Turn your biggest hits into long-lasting franchises! Create sequels, prequels, reboots, and even spinoffs to capitalize on audience demand. But beware: too many installments can lead to franchise fatigue. Strike the perfect balance to keep your fans invested without burning them out.
 

MASTER THE ART OF DISTRIBUTION

Your movie’s journey doesn’t end at the final cut. Decide how to distribute your creation: self-publish, partner with a distributor. Each route comes with unique risks and rewards. Timing is everything—analyze the market, outmaneuver the competition, and secure the perfect release date for your blockbuster.

 

 


MONETIZE YOUR BACK CATALOG
 

Don’t let your past successes collect dust. Manage your studio’s library and maximize ancillary revenue with strategic home entertainment deals. Partner with distributors who are the best fit for your catalog, and invest in add-ons to boost sales. Your back catalog is a goldmine—make it work for you.
 

TACKLE MOVIE PRODUCTION INCIDENTS
 

Making movies isn’t all glamour and glory. Sometimes, production doesn’t go as planned, and you’ll have to face the unexpected. From budget overruns to on-set accidents, adapt to unforeseen challenges and turn setbacks into opportunities.

 

 

BUILD YOUR EMPIRE
 

Turn your small studio into a Hollywood powerhouse. Use your profits to upgrade your offices, hire and train top-tier talent, and research cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead of the curve. Attract A-list actors, expand your capabilities, and solidify your reputation as a major player in the industry.
 

FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH
 

In The Executive, the road to success is yours to decide. Will you become a champion of the art world, winning critical acclaim and prestigious awards? Or will you build a blockbuster machine, raking in billions at the box office? The choice is yours in this ultimate Hollywood simulation.

I liked it, but it gets repetitive

This game is a real challenge, but when you advance it gets so repetitive that is boring

Your Dream Studio

From the screenshots, I knew exactly what I was getting into. I made my dream movie, and it crashed and burned. Five stars, worth every penny I paid.

Game Dev Tycoon, but for Movies!

This game has progression but not grind. You will enjoy this if you enjoyed Game Dev Tycoon. I am astounded at the level of movie related items you can get or upgrade. You can name your movies anything you want! There is a "Sandbox Mod" on GameDB ? site which let's you set money prestige (important) and other items. I am lazy and I needed this. moddb DOT com Get it, use only the things you want or don't. Absolutely a great game.

Follow The Rules

Want to make a PG-rated Sci-Fi-Romance with a Business theme? Well don't, because you'll go bust. Most of your movies will make a profit, but probably not enough to also cover your office and staff overheads, so your company slowly grinds its way down to bankruptcy. Some of your movies will bomb, adding an exciting plunge to the bottom (and game-over). Want to make a PG-13 Comedy-Musical Coming of Age story? Great, hire the most popular director and lead actor you can afford (and that fits the script), spend your production budget in the ratio 50-30-15 (IYKYK), and post-production 10-35-45. Release it for Valentine's, as a Summer movie, or when there's a festival. You'll make millions. The reason I know that is because the online calculator (calcmovietycoon) tells me so. If you want to make money, you need to follow the rules. Hire additional producers and grind out by-the-calculator 'movies' - which are only distinguished by their title as far as you're concerned - as fast as your sales/marketing people can shift them. On the other hand, if you want to be a bit creative or avant-garde, well, perhaps you can give them funny titles. >> TL;DR It's 'ok' but just grind. If you get the calculator the game is a grind with little or no decision-making (you should get the calculator). If you don't get the calculator the game is a grind until you go bust.
