That's not really something I'm planning to do at the moment.
Overusing does no harm, a flop does. "Fame" will be dynamic, successful movies and winning awards will increase it, flops or not working at all will decrease it.

Will there be several networks with different audiences and popularities? And if so will we be able to make networks ourselves? And also if so then maybe we could switch networks if we are unhappy with the current one.

Could you release footage of you designing a movie and the process of making it?

Could you release footage of you designing a movie and the process of making it? A video? Sure, why not. I think I even have a recording program installed somewhere on my pc. I'll try to set something up this week.

Will you be able to give video game rights of your franchises to game companies?

I've been thinking about this (and other merchandising rights), but I'm still not sure if and how I should implement this.

I apologise in advance if I named anything that's been named before. I have some features and ideas I would like to see in the game. They are as follows.
BOX OFFICE AND SALES Opening Weekend Worldwide Opening Weekend Domestically Weekends 2-? Domestically
I would like to know how much money my movie makes in it's opening weekend and overall. Sort of like how it's handled on boxofficemojo. For example if my movie makes $100 million opening weekend domestically and $250 million domestically overall, a 2.5 multiplier showing how many times my movie made it's opening weekend would be great. Also the Worldwide numbers don't have to be specific for opening weekends. Preferably each region has a box office total, for example Asia - $200 million, Europe $240 million etc. The domestic weekends from 2 to it's last weekend (depends on how good it is and if or theater companies pull it out) would be useful in determining how good your movie is holding up.
Also showing how much you made in profits from box office, and being given the option to release it on DVD, Blu-Ray and streaming at a selected release date would be really nice, and also seeing how much money you made by releasing it on DVD, Blu-Ray and streaming (could be a decent money maker outside box office).
ETC In the starting phase for making an original movie, I saw that there wasn't a villain, hero or anti-hero selection for the roles, I think that would be a good idea. Also roles should have different species, depending on if it's adapted or not. As in Star Wars, if I wanted to have a Rodian character, I think that would be a good option. Also for original scripts, having human, alien etc would be really useful. Is there a way to change the rating of your movie in terms of G, PG, PG-13, R and M. That would be good in terms of how much money your movie could make. Also in terms of an actor's fame, it should be different for certain parts of the world - Leonardo DiCaprio is gonna be around the same fame everywhere, especially North America and Europe. But someone like Donnie Yen, who isn't very famous around the world, but is very famous in China. I think this could help your movie perform better in certain countries depending on how big the role is. I also think the actors should have more skills shown when hiring, such as 'comedy'. Also setting movies release dates would be useful, so even when your movie is finished, you should be able to set a release date for later on if you wish to do so, this would play in to marketing, like you can spend money on trailers, posters, TV spots. And also get sponsors, like Batman V Superman did with Turkish Airlines. Another thing would be, how can you make animated movies? I didn't see any options for that in the video, and animated movies are a big part of the industry, such as stop-motion, traditional animation, CG animation etc. I think the movie ratings should be Metacritic (you already have), Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. This would offer a variety of ratings that could effect your box office. Something like IMDb could be more casual ratings, and Rotten Tomatoes be critics, so it's a bit harsher and such. Being able to write a plot summary (won't effect rating) would be really nice.
QUESTIONS Forgive me for acting ignorant, but how does the game work in terms of do you select a current movie studio like Warner Bros to run with all its current properties, or do you have to start your own company? Or can you do both? How easy would the game's database be to edit? If I wanted to add a new actor, or wanted to edit one because I disagreed with the ratings they had or how much their salary should be. Would there be 2 options in terms of how you play the game? As in more realistic with actors not wanting to work for you or being busy, and a more fantasy game where it wouldn't matter and you could hire anyone you wanted? How would creating a franchise work? Like, the MCU has franchises within its franchise. Example being the Iron Man trilogy inside the MCU. How would making a sequel work? Is Iron Man 3 a sequel to Iron Man 2 or The Avengers as it was the last movie to be released before Iron Man 3? How would prequels work too?
END I was just wanted to thank you for taking on this task. I've waited for a game like this forever, where you can run a movie studio and use real actors, directors, writers etc. And being able to adapt countless books, games, and comic books. And also create franchises like the MCU and Star Wars. Again, thank you for taking on this great task and I hope you release the demo soon. Can't wait to play this!
Also, I assume that you're German, or that it's your native language. So if you need any help cleaning up the English in the game to make it more fluent, I would be more than happy to help!

You'll always habe to start your own company. Rights a distributed randomly at the start of a new game. Just think of it as an alternate universe hollywood.
Pretty easy. The editor has been part of the game from the beginning as I use it myself to fill the database.
That's something I want, although it's probably not going to be part of the alpha.
You have a spin-off option to create a new series within a franchise. So yes, Iron Man 3 would be the sequel to Iron Man 2 while The Avengers would be considered a spin off. Sam goes for prequles. If you would want to make an Iron Man Prequel, you would pick the first Iron Man movie as the base and than create a prequel from it.

Alright, thanks answering my questions. The first one could always be something that's easy to edit in the game I suppose? So technically anyone can mod it so the rights of properties can be part of the corresponding studio.
I hope you took my ideas into consideration. I know it's a lot, but hopefully there's some things you could add in the future. But obviously getting the demo out is the priority right now.
