Cinema Tycoon Guide: Tips & Cheats To Run a Successful Theater

The Parking Lot

Cinema Tycoon begins just like a real-life movie theater – finding a place to park your car! Movie goers will drive into the theater’s parking lot and find the nearest open space to park their car in.

There are three upgrades here: price, frequency, and slots. Price will determine how much money you get every time someone parks their car initially and the money generated over time.

Frequency determines how short the intervals are between the money collection times. You see, every couple of seconds a car is parked in the lot, you gain more money. The longer your guests stay, the more money you will earn from the parking lot.

The final upgrade are slots, which determines how many parking spaces there are. The more slots you have, the more money you will earn in the long run.

Ensuring that your parking lot has a lot of spaces to hold as many guests as possible is your top priority here. After that, you can start increasing the amount of money you earn and the frequency so start racking in lots of money.

The Ticket Lobby

Now that your guests are parked and situated, they will enter the main lobby of your theater. This is where they will line up to purchase tickets for the movie they want to see. They will wait in the queue, and when it is their turn they will go up to the counter and the employee will take care of them within a few seconds.

There are once again three upgrades here to consider: price, speed, and slots.

Price determines how much money a single ticket sell generates. Upgrades this to earn more money over time.

Speed determines how fast your employees can get guests through into the concessions lobby. If you are noticing a bottleneck at the lobby, try improving speed to get guests in and out faster.

Slots determines how long your line queue can be. The more upgrades you have, the longer your queue will be, which means more guests will come to your theater. If your queue is full, that means your parking lot is full, which will cause no more guests to come until you add more slots.

Early on, you only need a couple of slots for the ticket lobby. Your main objective is to get guests through as fast as possible, as the tickets are not really your main money makers. For this reason, speed is the upgrade to prioritize here.

The Concession Stands

After your guests purchase their tickets, they will make it to the final stop before their movie: the concession stands! Here they can purchase popcorn, candy, soft drinks, and more yummy goodies.

You have two stands: a general snack stand on the left and a popcorn stand on the right. Once guests are in the concession lobby, they will pick one randomly and go purchase some treats.

The three upgrades this time are price, speed, and slots, making the concession lobby function similar to the ticket lobby.

Price determines how much money you will make per transaction.

Speed determines how fast your employees can complete a customer’s transaction.

Slots determines how many customers each stand can hold at once.

We all know theater snacks and food is much more expensive than outside food, and that remains true in Cinema Tycoon. After a few levels, your snacks will be selling at a much higher rate than your tickets.

The concession lobby is a great primer to your main money maker, so make sure you upgrade slots and speed to take care of as many guests as possible. If all stand slots are full, guests will skip the concessions and go straight to the movie theater. Avoid this at all costs!
