Unfortunately the developer abandoned updates on the 2nd version. :( ### 4/5 — Gutes Spiel *2025-09-19, version 1.1.1* Das Spiel ist gut und übersichtlicher als der Nachfolger. Jedoch gibt es keine deutsche Sprache , was ich persönlich aber nicht so schlimm finde. Denn das Spiel gefällt mir auch so. ### 4/5 — 4 estrellas *2025-09-16, version 1.1.1* Es el mejor simulador de estudio cinematográfico que he jugado y realmente es excelente en general, pero a la larga se convierte en un juego repetitivo, tal ves agregar más mecánicas haría el juego un 10. ### 5/5 — Create a Tv show sim version of this *2024-05-20, version 1.1.1* Plz create a Tv Show sim version of box office sim. ### 4/5 — Awards *2024-05-12, version 1.1.1* With the most recent update nobody wins the Popcorn Cinema Award. FYI, I’ve been playing this game for about 2 years now, and this wouldn’t happen before. ### 3/5 — Some Problems. *2023-12-22, version 1.1.1* Great game, but some many ads! ### 5/5 — A suggestion! *2023-10-10, version 1.1.1* I love this game and get stuck playing it often. One small suggestion would be to show which actors, directors, and writers are retiring. Maybe sometime during award season? ### 5/5 — Make BOS 3 like this! *2023-09-23, version 1.1.1* I love this game, it’s by far the best movie making sim. I don’t play 2 because it’s animals not humans so PLEASE make a 3 with people not animals. I would pay money for a newer version of this game! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-09-01, version 1.1.1* By far one of mi absolute favorite games ### 5/5 — I Love This but *2023-08-22, version 1.1.1* I Love This but I would LOVEEEE YOU if you made one for tv shows ### 4/5 — I like this game. *2023-08-10, version 1.1.1* I like this game a lot hopefully they will update it with a type category. For Animation or Live Action As well as animation style 2d and 3D. ### 3/5 — Fun, but a little thing *2023-08-08, version 1.1.1* In the Box Office Sim 2 the movies are not always nominated for Best Supporting Actor/Actress but in this game when it flops it’s only nominated for 4 Best Supporting Actors. Pls fix ### 5/5 — Great *2022-12-06, version 1.0.6* I’m addicted to this game off and on, spent too many hours on this, it’s fun making franchises, building up peoples careers, making little stories up in head. Could do with some quality of life updates though. ### 5/5 — Idea for Different Game *2022-11-19, version 1.0.6* Could you possibly create a music version of the game and the awards are the Grammys, VMA’s. You could hire a producer, writer, singer, ect. Great game thanks ### 4/5 — Update the game *2022-09-26, version 1.0.6* Add OTT platform,cinemas options,add real filming methods like set cost, travelling cost,location,overseas shootings,film promoting,selling Television rights,digital rightes and remove 5-minimum character In a movie add as many characters and many more ### 4/5 — Good Game But *2022-09-20, version 1.0.6* There must be the ability to buy other studios. ### 5/5 — It’s time for an UPDATE, I love this game *2022-09-15, version 1.0.6* Been playing this for a while, An Update is must needed and will put this game over the top of many as it is already. Just let us sign Actors to our Studio and bring those who retired out of Retirement please ### 5/5 — Russin *2022-09-11, version 1.0.6* hello please add russian language ### 5/5 — One of the best Simulation/Administration games ever *2022-08-29, version 1.0.6* I love everything about this game, I already played the other two games they have and I love them as well, they should make a soccer one soon ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only Update in 1 Year Added Constant Ads… *2023-11-23, version 1.1.1* Game was great. Needed more content though. Latest update only added constant advertisements every time you simulate a week. This has made the game all but unplayable in my mind. Instantly uninstalled. Shame. ### 1/5 — No goal *2021-12-25, version 1.0.6* There is no goal what so ever no upgrades to buy no studios u just keep doing the same thing messing about with titles while the income SLOWLY rises even tho you have nothing to spend it on other then a another film that cost the same as the last money is completely redundant ### 1/5 — Lost it all *2020-07-07, version 1.0.3* Lost all my progress because the game kept asking me to return to main menu and just as I was getting into a rhythm it came up and I clicked it by accident. Fuming. ### 1/5 — idk if it’s because i have an iphone 6 *2020-06-05, version 1.0.3* the game doesn’t want to save, and it goes out of the game when i mostly enjoy it, and i want to know if the game is offline... just a lot of bugs ### 1/5 — It Was Really Good... Until *2020-05-24, version 1.0.3* I was really enjoying the game. And then my progress disappeared, all of it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-22, version 1.0.3* The game doesn’t work, you try to make a new movie and it doesn’t let you. You try to hire people and it doesn’t let you. You want to add new movies and it doesn’t let you ### 1/5 — Nah *2020-05-22, version 1.0.3* Confusing!!! ### 2/5 — Can you please dissable auto save!!! *2021-03-12, version 1.0.6* It’s ruining the game experience ### 2/5 — Great game but doesn’t save *2021-01-04, version 1.0.3* This game is so much fun and I was playing it for 6 hours straight. When I went out of the app and came back in, my saved game would not load and I can only begin a new game now. Please help!! ### 2/5 — LOST MY SAVE! *2020-05-01, version 1.0.2* Ok so lemme just start by saying that it’s a pretty cool game. Really fun when you get going.. but there are a few bugs/issues.. First of all - it’s impossible to start the game with anything lower than $75 million. Wanna be an indie film company? Too bad. You won’t sell anything. Secondly; to add to my first point - success comes from marketing. You can pay the best actors, directors, and writers as much as they ask for and pick all marketing options and you can earn tons of money. (Also the pop-up window confirming the marketing purchase is annoying and only slows the players down.) Finally - DON’T QUICK SAVE! I was about 3 years in and quick saved before exiting the app. Came back to find my file was corrupt and couldn’t load. Nice. EDIT: I restarted with 2 separate games. It appears that no matter what the 2nd (newest) save gets corrupted. Really annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun plz update *2026-07-05, version 1.1.1* This game is so fun and can be even better so please update this game and add more features ### 5/5 — German please *2026-06-01, version 1.1.1* Das Spiel macht mega Spaß, wäre bloß cool wenn es es auch in Deutsch geben würde ### 5/5 — Please update! *2026-05-13, version 1.1.1* Man we all love this game, would love to see you put some time and energy back into this, or fix Box Office Sin 2. This game could be ever better. ### 5/5 — This is great *2026-01-04, version 1.1.1* I want to be an actor I guess this can help but still great game ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2025-08-04, version 1.1.1* C’est un très très bon jeu qui mériterai ça version série ! ### 5/5 — Amazingly Simple Game *2025-07-10, version 1.1.1* You have created a fun little game I & many others enjoy thank you ! However of late my game hasn’t been producing new actors/actresses anymore I do have one save on like year 64 though but even on my newer ones they have stopped ### 5/5 — PLZ UPDATE *2025-06-08, version 1.1.1* This is the game you should be putting all of your attention and focus into!!! Boxofficesim 2 features with this game base model would be immaculate. ### 5/5 — Updates? *2024-07-30, version 1.1.1* I love this game!! So addicting. Have already spent an unholy amount of hours on it. I’d love an update though. There’s a lot of great new features on #2 that make it feel more like a production company, but with how laggy the sequel is, I think it would be better to just add those features to the original game. Also being able to create TV shows as well would be so much fun. Love the game, the interface is incredibly user friendly. Thanks for creating. ### 5/5 — Awesome 🤩 *2024-07-12, version 1.1.1* Hi developers. I am currently amazed by your efforts to create an app like this! I just have some ideas: Could you please create the ability to use child actors and actresses.that would be great.Any way,awesome job. ### 5/5 — Amazing, addicting game *2024-06-23, version 1.1.1* I got this app yesterday and then played it for 7 and a half hours straight. It was really fun, but I would love for some of these 4 things to be added. 1. Being able to watch the movie you made 2. Being able to hire multiple writers or directors for a movie 3. Being able to make tv shows 4. Being able to buy other companies not just there franchises --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
