Cinema Theater Tycoon puts players in the role of a Parisian theater owner starting in 1906, just after the Lumière brothers' early screenings. The simulation spans over 100 years of film history, from silent films to modern blockbusters, with era-appropriate works, trends, and technologies appearing as the player progresses. Management tasks include setting screening schedules, hiring staff, and adjusting ticket and popcorn prices. Players can also hold events like premieres and masterclasses to attract stars and movie fans. A film buyer mechanic sends scouts worldwide to find new works to screen. The game does not currently support Japanese display, but the Steam store page is in Japanese, suggesting possible future localization. A demo is available on Steam.
