Movie Business | New PC game where you run a film studio
Want to run your own film studio? The PC game Movie Business is going to let you do just that. More details here.
I’ve covered a few of these before, in my ongoing hunt for a Football Manager-style game to cover running a Hollywood studio. And the next to have a go comes from the European developer SchnoxCore.
The title is Movie Business, or to give it its full title, Movie Business – Die Welt der Filme. It’s going to be available in the English language though, and it’s going to be available relatively soon. The developer is planning to release a demo version of the game this weekend, ahead of a full release version going on sale.
The logline for it reads: Have you ever dreamed of diving into the glamorous and cutthroat world of film? Not as a star on the red carpet, but as the driving force behind it – as the tycoon who builds empires, discovers talent, and writes film history?
Who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to head up a major studio, delete completed films, sell everything off to a streamer, and pocket hundreds of millions of dollars for yourself? Acutally, nah, that wouldn’t be realistic at all, Scrub that I said that.
On the surface, this has got the features I’d expect, from making films and managing talent, to managing the finances and evolving your studio. Several had stepped up to the oche to give this sort of game a try, few have made it really work. Fingers crossed that Movie Business gives this a good go.
The only bit of the features list that made me shudder?
‘MORE THAN JUST A JOB: YOUR PRIVATE LIFE
Manage your CEO’s life as well. Determine your salary, invest in real estate and luxury goods, further your education, and cultivate relationships that can influence your personal reputation and career.’
Lol, etc.
The full release is currently planned for 25th February 2026. You can find the game on the Steam service, ready for your money, right here.
