A new Actor Empire sneak peek 🎬
The Release Strategy Wizard is being completely rebuilt, both visually and mechanically.
You’ll first decide how to release your project: take the theatrical route and manage the risk yourself, or sell the streaming rights for guaranteed money and potential long-term backend earnings.
The streaming bidding system has been fully revamped. Platforms now compete inside a live auction room where they can submit offers, revise or restructure their terms, declare a final offer, or withdraw. The room runs on a shared clock, but nothing is accepted automatically. You can take any standing offer, wait for the closing terms, or walk away without signing.
Every offer is now a complete contract, not just one big number. You’ll compare the guarantee, backend percentage, payment basis, recoupment, backend caps, contract length, territories, exclusivity, localization, production funding, future-season funding, and renewal options. A smaller upfront offer with stronger backend terms may become more valuable than the biggest headline bid.
Once distribution is decided, you’ll build the complete release strategy: choose the campaign position, control when the marketing push peaks, allocate money across different channels, review forecasts and soundtrack impact, enter festivals based on timing and eligibility, and compare release dates against rival projects across a 52-week calendar.
The final screen brings every decision together before you lock the strategy.
This is still a work-in-progress preview, so the visuals, systems, and balancing may continue to change. Which part would you explore first?
