Box Office Mayhem: Theatre Tycoon

Box Office Mayhem is a business management game where you simulate running your own movie theatre. Navigate through signing movie deals, managing day to day operations, and struggle as movie goers have unpredictable behavior. Play solo against AI competitors or take it online against friends!

Ever dreamt of running your own movie theatre? Here is what it entails:

• Hire, fire, and manage your employees. Maybe even give a raise to your seasoned employees... just kidding!

• Select which movies to screen and when with the goal of maximizing the amount of butts in seats.

• Adjust your ticket pricing to remain competitive while turning a profit.

• Sell popcorn at $10 a bucket and a bottle of water at $6 because movie goers love that, obviously.

Meticulous control over auditorium details are at your finger tips:

• Start small and scale up to massive auditoriums that seat hundreds of attendees

• Do you want to screen 2D, 3D, or 4D movies, maybe even all of them? The choice is yours.

• Screen movies in the highly sought after and hyped "APEX" projection.

We know you wish you could just illegally screen the movies, but no:

• Negotiate for rights to screen the new blockbuster superhero movie! It's only the 15th one of the year.

• Rise above your competitors by snagging an exclusivity deal giving only your theatre rights to screen a movie.

• Be careful of the big movie franchises with superstar directors as they want the majority of royalties on ticket sales.

Think this game isn't deep enough? Think again, we have mini story arcs... just like the movies: 

• Over 15 AI competitors with backstories, unique personalities, and traits are ready to outclass you.

• Each AI competitor has a branching storyline along with special events to keep things engaging and fresh.

• Not a fan of competition? Befriend the local competitors and cultivate a sense of community.

After getting crushed by AI competitors, you can chicken out and challenge your friends instead:

• Featuring online multiplayer for 2-4 players. View each other's stats in real time so you can trash talk.

• In-depth multiplayer simulation. All players are competing for the same market so sales affect other players.

• Trade with other players, and when they reject your outlandish offer... resort to sabotaging their operations.
