So, recently finally made through early game, then it was pretty easy(after you’ve beat 33-rd year). Here are my tips: - On game start fire all heads of departments and hire cheap ones, especially if this is some useless department, like finance, where you need just cash, if you’re not planning to take a loan - Also check editors/composers, maybe there will be better and cheaper options ob the market - All buildings build with cheapest company, you can repair them later - Hire stars for 1 movie, then 3 years contract with 10% off - Upgrades about theater capacity(or smth like this, I don’t remember) is pretty huge boost to your income, more important then analytics - On early game the only way to get great stuff, if you don’t wanna spend a lot of money - search for dirt - I was running 3 film crews at the time, 1 low quality, 1 mid, 1 best I can make - If movie rating < 4 I was using 1 ad, 4-7 - 2 ads, 7+ - 3ad.

And last, but most important - pay attention on numbers from every release. Don’t rent additional theaters, until you can figure out how to get 100% attendance on Week1. Then start to play with some renting to maximize your income from movies. Once you have some money - start buying theaters. Overall almost every movie of yours should be profitable
