"Mogul, the film studio fantasy platform created by the movie theater subscription service MoviePass, on Wednesday launched out of private beta, the company announced. The platform is now available as a public beta for everyone. Designed specifically for the Hollywood industry, players own their own film studio and draft a team of actors, directors, and movies to earn points based on their performance."
"Today, the web version of Mogul is open for the more than 400,000 users on the waiting list. The platform has also begun rolling out to the public. Around 5,000 users, including myself, have tested the platform. Although I've only experienced the pre-season phase, which lacks active gameplay and a leaderboard, I still have a general idea of the mechanics."
"After you create a name for your studio, you'll receive a budget of one million "Mogul Coin," the platform's virtual currency (since you're not playing with real money). This initial budget is yours to use to assemble your team. For example, the sequel "Wicked: For Good" is $100,000, and the actresses Cynthia Erivo (playing Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (as Glinda) are $25,000 each. Director Jon M. Chu is also $25,000."
Mogul launched out of private beta into a public beta, targeting the Hollywood industry with a fantasy film-studio gameplay. Players own a studio, draft actors, directors, and films, and earn points based on real-world performance. The platform mirrors daily fantasy sports by positioning players as studio managers who assemble teams of real industry talent. The web version opened to over 400,000 users on the waiting list and is rolling out to the public after roughly 5,000 testers. Players start with one million Mogul Coin virtual currency to build a roster, make two free weekly swaps, and have one week to finalize selections. Real-world news about talent can affect strategic choices.
