Run a movie studio: make films and TV, win awards, build a Hollywood dynasty.
Read full description
Build the movie studio of your dreams and turn a small office into an entertainment empire.
Studio Chairman is a movie studio management simulation where every decision shapes your legacy. Greenlight scripts, cast stars, shoot and edit films, choose their release strategy, and compete at the box office week by week.
MAKE FILMS YOUR WAY
• Name your film, choose its shooting language, cast it and set the budget.
• Shoot, edit, test-screen and premiere, then choose a limited, wide, streaming-first or hybrid release.
• Pick specific filming sites and follow current productions in your studio work plan.
• Design posters with editable presets and organize sequels, prequels and spin-offs.
• Follow weekly box office separately from cumulative saved-film records. View recorded calendar-year theatrical receipts for your films as new weekly runs are tracked.
TELEVISION, STREAMING AND SHORT DRAMAS
• Produce TV series and choose who airs them: a network, cable, a platform or you.
• Handle cast demands, hiatus, revivals and spin-offs.
• Browse series archives, retained season records and your short-drama library.
• Launch your own streaming platform and build a network of up to three TV channels.
• Name original programs, enable eligible catch-up viewing and buy sports rights.
• Make vertical short dramas for the phone era.
STARS, AWARDS AND REPUTATION
• Browse thousands of actors, directors, writers and composers.
• Negotiate with agents, request candidates for individual draft roles, sign exclusives and sponsor rising stars.
• Talent identity and portrait data are saved so your stars remain consistent after loading.
• Campaign through four film award shows and follow TV award categories and ceremony dates.
• Stars age, retire and enter your Hall of Fame. Flops, shelved films and scandals affect your reputation.
MANAGE A CONNECTED STUDIO
• Manage cash flow, loans, taxes, investments and competing studios.
• Earn research points from completed releases and develop timed research projects and related facilities.
• Assign existing employees as production, TV or streaming managers and inspect their recorded reports.
• Plan weekly audience campaigns, review contract commitments and track licensing assets.
• Accept optional subsidiary support requests connected to your studio's work.
• Follow objectives and eight in-game achievements without duplicate reward payouts.
BUILD YOUR DYNASTY
• Marry into the industry, raise the next generation and choose an heir who may have plans of their own.
• Expand into world markets and select from a dozen shooting languages.
• Choose an experimental open-mode start in 1975, 2000 or 2025.
• Read three weekly papers covering industry events, paparazzi and satire, with news details you can open.
Play with an English, Arabic, Latin American Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese interface. Interface language and film shooting language are separate choices.
History screens show retained records. Missing old data is not reconstructed; dated annual theatrical tracking begins when receipts are recorded. Historical starts are experimental, not a complete reconstruction of past economies.
Take the chairman's seat, call the shots, and build an empire that lasts.
