In production, a player essentially writes a script for his film, designs a web site and a poster. He promotes the film with contests, advertisements and such. Each part of the production contest costs money. He is charged $10,000,000 initially for promotion regardless of how he uses it (he can choose from several production companies for assistance in web or poster design.) His film can cost anywhere from $3,000,000 (for arthouse) to $40,000,000 (for sci-fi.) He is also charged individually for actors and directors, based on fees established from their currently real life going-rates.
Once the film is released into the PC Multiplex, players vote on films every day and the film stays in the theater until it's performance warrants that it be removed in place of a new release.
As of 2003 the site and game are defunct; this is due in part to a transfer of the domain name to a new owner of the game who didn't maintain the site efficiently.
