Cinemania tips?

I’ve found it really hard to get films for the cinemania this event. Any tips? I’ve done all the tasks. Is it just the case of doing flights?

Yes, plus using 'Lucky Ticket' bonuses and a fleet of owls which to me isn't worth for this event.

que paso, que paso 😑😑 si valen, no seas malo 😕 hay es q mandar vuelos como locos ☺️

Sí, además de usar los bonos 'Lucky Ticket' y una flota de búhos que para mí no valen para este evento.

In the beginning, you are forced to fly to Turkish Coast. But, once you are done with all the tasks, you should switch to Hawk and fly to Los Angeles for the currency. Hawk gives twice the currency while spending little over 50% more fuel compared to Owl.

If you speed return flights, use currency/f and if you let it take its time, use currency/h. In latter case, Owl provides most currency per hour.

Hawk to LA has the best return per fuel spent. Be sure to run all flights while the lucky ticket is active.

Although the lucky ticket boosts 50% of the currency, Low currency items like Retro Movie Theater gives +2 or 66%

With Lucky Ticket and Golden Toad, you will get

Movie Theater = 6x6 = 36
Retro Movie Theater = 6x5 = 30
Triumph Hotel = 6x5 = 30
VIP Lounge = 6x6 = 36

That is 132 currency per each Golden Toad on top of hourly collection from the building.
---------------------------
Costume Workshop = 1x3 = 3
Studio Stage = 1x5 = 5
Prop Warehouse = 1x3 = 3
If you have premium, above 3 buildings also add to Golden Toad pop.

You the man. Thanks for this in-depth analysis that I’m sure will be used by many for years to come. Thanks again

I would add consideration\strategy should be applied if switching out from owl to hawk (if viable depending upon fleet configuration, effort & city abilities) plus timeframe. Also, don't forget guest planes also contribute at least 1 event currency per plane.

Yes, hawks use less fuel but at progress level 35 (and above), at least 1,000 currency must be acquired to progress to next level. Swapping out owl for hawk prematurely can prove to be a costly mistake. The fuel\pax ratio is primarily a concern for pax efficiency, NOT achieving currency nor especially within a specific timeframe so calculating when\if to switch is important since here is a ~3 to 1 difference and the goal here is strictly event currency before time runs out.

With the focus strictly on just owl\hawk event flights:

Given 4 hawks in fleet - 12x4 = 48 currency every 3 hours at 22x4 fuel = 88 fuel
Given 4 owls in fleet - 6x4 = 24 currency every 30 minutes at 14x4 fuel = 56 fuel

but in the 30 minute span of first owl flights, 30 fuel has been restored which can send an additional 2 owls
Given 2 owls in fleet - 6x2 = 12 currency every 30 minutes at 14x2 fuel = 28 fuel

so, in 1hour, that's 6 owls - 6x6 = 36 currency at 84 fuel

however, wait 1 hour for 60 fuel to replenish, then repeat above process of 4 then again 2

so, in 3 hours, that's 12 owls - 12x6 = 72 currency at 168 fuel vs 48 currency at 88 fuel using 4 hawks

The above can be further spiced up by adding a 'Lucky Ticket' (+50% currency) bonus so 6=9 plus 2 (minimum) per guest (land at least 1 guest for each owl) plane provides 11
Given 4 owls in fleet - 11x4 = 44 currency every 30 minutes at 14x4 fuel = 56 fuel

but in the 30 minute span of first owl flights, 30 fuel has been restored which can send an additional 2 owls
Given 2 owls in fleet - 11x2 = 22 currency every 30 minutes at 14x2 fuel = 28 fuel

so, in 1hour, that's 6 owls - 11x6 = 66 vs 36 currency at 84 fuel
so, in 3 hours, that's 12 owls - 11x12 = 132 vs 72 currency at 168 fuel

Now, level 35 alone being 1000 currency needed, just the lowest numbers:
4 hawks, 48 currency every 3 hours = 62 hours at 16 destinations or 12 hours a day = ~3.9 days
12 owls, 72 currency every 3 hours = 41 hours at 48 destinations or 12 hours a day = ~3.4 days

Take note, these times don't factor in using speed ups such as vintage weathervane, fuel, liveries nor fuel catalyst nor additional sources of currency such as event buildings, event tasks, additional event flights or guest planes so actual time will vary. But, let's trim and say with 4 hawks each 1,000 currency takes 3.5 days vs 4 owls takes 3.0 days (with much greater effort), levels 35-40 alone would require ~18-21 days to accomplish.

When making comparison, you first unitize the dimension that you want to focus on. For example, if you are going to speed up, then time is of no concern so what is important is the fuel. If you are focusing on fuel efficiency while speeding then the time does not matter so you want to know per fuel spent.

This is similar to distance covered by two cars. While you can say one car can drive 210miles in 3.5hours and another can do 350miles in 5.5hours. Which is faster? It is hard to see as is. When unitized, first does 60mph (that is 60miles covered each hour), while second does 63.6mph so it is clear to see which is faster.

The right most column where currency/h shows unitizing time for non sped up flights so time it takes will matter.

Each Hawk can generate 4 CPH while Owl does 12 CPH. Raven does 2.6CPH

Whether you can finish in time without speeding is a different matter. But, filling the stands with Owls will generate 3x more currency each hour compared to Hawk and more than 4x when compared to larger planes.



Now, level 35 alone being 1000 currency needed, just the lowest numbers:
4 hawks, 48 currency every 3 hours = 62 hours at 16 destinations or 12 hours a day = ~3.9 days
12 owls, 72 currency every 3 hours = 41 hours at 48 destinations or 12 hours a day = ~3.4 days

Above looks a bit off.

Since you are looking for hours, and Hawk has 4cph = 1/4hpc

Each Hawk will require 1/4hpc x 1000c = 250hour for 1000 currency
Each Owl will require 1/12hpc x 1000c = 83.3hours for 1000 currency



So, obviously, if you can fill the stands with one type and fuel is of no concern, you would switch to Hawks as soon as you are done with 150 Owl flight. However, for those with limited reserve space to store unused planes or can't sell due to applied liveries, you have to fly mixed. In that case, you would speed up only Hawks and let the Owls return on its own.

A useful method, thank you

However, there is a need for sufficient parking space for aircraft in the backup hangar,
which may be difficult for beginners or those of lower levels

exactly the problem flyhores, plus i collected too early?

Yes, collect such collections after completing these additional tasks, because as you saw you saw them at the end. You collect them when the game requires them - in some recent event, such a set was probably also included in the daily tasks (1 of 8, where 8/8 = 5400)
This hurts more...
