About Movie Empire: Idle
Movie Empire: Idle - build the greatest movie studio in history. One empty lot, a handful of staff and a red carpet somewhere far ahead. Take over the whole filmmaking process and turn a bare building into a dream factory at the heart of a living city - hire the crew, equip every room, shoot films and keep earning while you're away. Alice, your studio assistant, shows you the ropes. THE FULL PRODUCTION CYCLE Every film passes through the whole studio. Furnish writers' rooms with typewriters, recording studios with grand pianos, dressing rooms for your actors and sound stages with props. Directors take the finished scripts to the film set, and every take turns into box office. HIRE AND UPGRADE Take on staff, watch them work and upgrade what they work with. Better equipment means faster shoots and bigger paydays, and every room you build up earns stars that bring you tickets. SEVEN STAGES, ONE EMPIRE When every room is at its best, renovate: the studio moves to a bigger stage, from a small office to a full-scale film lot surrounded by city streets. Each renovation wraps a film for your Filmography, with its own poster, title and box office - and every new round shoots its sequel. A NEW PLAN EVERY DAY Three fresh tasks each day, easy, medium and hard, each paying tickets. Close all three and the audience sends a box. Visit day after day and the daily reward keeps growing with your streak. AWARDS 28 big goals across five categories, from opening rooms to collecting legendary items. Every tier pays tickets. BOXES AND THE WARDROBE Open boxes for wardrobe items, up to epic and legendary finds, and dress your crew for bigger earnings. ON SET AND AROUND IT Step behind the camera yourself in a quick shooting mini-game and catch lucky takes, welcome the investor who drops by with cash or tickets, and open the chest your crew fills with finds every 15 minutes. EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your studio keeps shooting while you rest. The safe collects the takings for up to 24 hours - come back, pour them into the next production and watch the numbers climb. Permanent upgrades stay with you through every renovation. ISOMETRIC 3D Detailed cartoon-style visuals with real sunlight, soft shadows and a city alive around your studio - close enough to admire every prop in every room of your growing empire. Lights, camera, action.
What’s new
Version 1.5.3 · Updated October 21, 2026
Update 1.5.3 Alice now shows new producers around stage 2 one step at a time. • The chest, Daily plan, Awards and Producer Pack each appear together with Alice's tip about them, not all at once. Awards got a tip of their own. • Not enough money to expand the studio yet? Tap Next and Alice will save up with you: "It'll wait for us." • The tutorial now always counts as finished, so the chest, Daily plan and Awards always open. • Your progress carries over as is.
