I haven’t been able to get into the game since June 25th. I’ve even sent you a message on your website and didn’t get a reply. Original posted July 2nd: Haven’t been able to get into this game for the past week. Every time I try to open the app it says “Network Error failed to download content. Please check your connection settings and try again.” There’s nothing wrong with my connection settings. I’ve tried opening it on wifi or using my phone data. I have an iPhone 16 Pro and an iPad 9, both software updated to 18.5 and this game won’t open on either. All my other games work fine, just not Box Office Tycoon. What’s going on? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-07, version 2.1.3* Went to play and it won’t load, says no connection ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-08-06, version 2.1.3* Game won’t load ### 1/5 — pls update 😭 *2025-08-03, version 2.1.3* this game used to be one of my favourite things to do in my free time especially to just relax. One day it just stopped loading and says it is unable to download the content. please fix this or just delete the app cause it's annoying ### 1/5 — False Network Error - Can’t Play Game *2025-08-01, version 2.1.3* I have been getting a network connection error and cannot play this game. I used to enjoy it and wanted to come back to it and play it but this is not possible. ### 1/5 — Get load on *2025-07-18, version 2.1.3* I tried downloading this game on both my iPad and iPhone deleting and reinstalling it multiple times and says there is a network error. I’m not sure why. Please fix ### 1/5 — Don’t Download it’s a scam *2025-07-18, version 2.1.3* I tried to log into the game and it says I have no Internet, even though I have three bars of Internet so either the developers are gonna fix this or they are going to be sued. Thank you. 1 star fix your dumb game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — May need updates. And remove bugs. *2026-08-15, version 2.1.3* Ok, I found the bug in the Starlight Night event. The bug is that the customer is glitching like this. Hope they fix it in the next Starlight Night event. Oh yeah, when is there gonna be a new theater? I have been waiting so long, so what is the new theater gonna be? Maybe I think of it! Here’s this so you can add it: Autumn Acrobat: In this new theater, it’s dawn; the leaves are falling and changing colors; and you get to experience the new cinema! Includes Trampoline Area, and more! There will be 7 small theaters, 13 large theaters, 5 3D theaters, and a V.I.P. Theater! (Includes Instant Food Service, and more seats.) New event coming up! It’s the Robot Theater event! Get ready for the future-ristic theater, robots, and more! (Premium Upgrade: Super Coaster. Costs 20 gems.) Plus, 1 robot theater. (Has 24 seat rows. You may need to get more money before this.) Oh yeah: I almost forgot… How about a Spinning Wheel? That would work! You could get rewards by spinning the wheel, then stop, to see what you got! (You may also get 5x rewards, which costs 100 in game cash to get it) 1 spin everyday! Also, you can get 1 more spin by watching a ad, or spend 15 gems. I hope this works! ### 5/5 — lança logo outro cinema *2026-06-20* lança logo outro cinema ### 5/5 — May need updates. And remove bugs. *2026-06-16* Ok, I found the bug in the Starlight Night event.

Still a good game that I would recommend. ### 5/5 — アップデートまた宜しく *2026-04-22* このゲーム大好きなのでアプデお願いします ### 5/5 — The best game in the world *2026-02-08, version 2.1.3* It is so fun and entertaining and I never get bored playing it.I mean who dose not like the game ### 5/5 — Good Game, but My customers are glitching *2026-01-09, version 2.1.3* In the starlight night event, 1 customer is glitched and won’t walk. Please fix the bug. Love the game, though. I missed the events and there’s no new theater soon. I was Wondering if you could add those updates back when it’s Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, like the Halloween event, turkey time event, and Christmas event. Hope the developer answers this. In the meantime, here the Easter event you’re waitin’ for: BLOCKBEASTERS EVENT: In this Easter update you get to enjoy tasty treats and eggs and an Easter theater with Easter movie posters. Good luck. ### 5/5 — Come back *2025-12-11, version 2.1.3* Come back and give us festival updates my friends ! Much love ! ### 5/5 — Рекомендую *2025-09-11* Пример хорошей игры из жанра Tycoon. Нет навязчивой рекламы и платных подписок, всего можно добиться самому. Есть несколько кинотеатров, с разнообразием в дизайне кресел, залов, лобби и архитектуры здания. ### 5/5 — Network Error *2025-06-09, version 2.1.3* I had this on my other phone and it worked perfectly and I loved it! But this network error thing is making me very upset. Please Hothead Games, if you could fix this bug I’d would greatly appreciate it!🤞🍿 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
