Movie boss was fantastic

Miss movieboss very much, I believe I ended ranked #3 overall when it closed down. At the time I was passionately addicted to both MB and HSX equally and I think for some reason when it went away my intensity for HSX fell as well. They both had such fun ways of following box office and predicting future BO in different ways.

Who remembers Movie Boss? {nm} GruntNoNeck Nov 10, 15:01

Nope. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 10, 15:07

This surprises me, you were around at the time. {nm} GruntNoNeck Nov 10, 17:13

*Raises Hand* Loved that game. {nm} ~JPV~ Nov 10, 15:25

I upgrading to stadium seating... and all my theaters had ATMs.and lights in the parking lot. {nm} RazorHawk Nov 10, 16:40

It was fun as your revenue was based on real life box office results. ~JPV~ Nov 10, 16:48

limiteds usually have higher PTAs and that was the secret to raking in the big bucks {nm} RazorHawk Nov 10, 16:52

Was this a board game, online or installed on your computer? {nm} DTshakes Nov 10, 17:01

Basically the same as HSX but... GruntNoNeck Nov 10, 17:12

Can't remember exactly, but there was a lawsuit involved. {nm} ~JPV~ Nov 10, 17:13

Wow, great find! Thanks {nm} ~JPV~ Nov 10, 17:45

Ditto! {nm} GruntNoNeck Nov 10, 19:32

Isn't 'Fantasy Movie League' a revival of this concept (in a way)? RamsFan2004 Nov 10, 18:37

I haven't tried it. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 10, 18:38

I tried to read the rules! WOW! GruntNoNeck Nov 10, 20:16

it was a website... RazorHawk Nov 10, 17:16

Wow, thanks! I would totally play that if it started up again. {nm} DTshakes Nov 10, 21:15

it was a website... RazorHawk Nov 10, 17:16

If I had the know-how, and time, I'd love to revive the game. {nm} ~JPV~ Nov 10, 17:35

not being an HSX traitor, no {nm} jangles Nov 10, 17:35

Don't forget, HSX screwed us up a few times over the years. screwing with the boards' format, musical xchange, orange'd era. DiNar0 Nov 10, 18:54

HSX Orange took 1 week to switch over... only was played one week... then was dumped and took two weeks to revert back {nm} RazorHawk Nov 10, 19:15

How long did the music market last? {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 10, 19:51
