Call of Duty: Black Ops III har lavet flere penge end 'Jurassic World' på åbningsweekenden
Der er voldsomt mange penge i repetitive skydespil!
3.8 milliarder kroner. Det er beløbet, som det nye Call of Duty-spil har indtjent. Og det endnu ikke en uge siden, at det blev udgivet.
550 millioner, i dollars vel at mærke. Til sammenligning kørte den massivt hypede film, Jurassic World, 'kun' 208 millioner dollars ind på åbningsweekenden.
Sådan lyder det fra en pressemeddelelse fra Activision:
"Activision Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI), today confirmed that Call of Duty®: Black Ops III is the biggest entertainment launch of the year. In its first three days, the blockbuster title exceeded $550 million in sell-through worldwide, according to Activision estimates. The opening weekend haul is the biggest entertainment launch of 2015, including theatrical box office, music and book launches.
Engagement per player also set a new record for the Call of Duty® franchise. Additionally, fans played more than 75 million hours online in its opening three days.
“The Call of Duty: Black Ops III launch is bigger than any game, any movie, or any entertainment launch this year. But more importantly, our fans are engaging more deeply with the franchise than ever before. In fact, so far, people are playing Black Ops III for more hours per player than any Call of Duty game on record,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “Call of Duty is more than a game, it’s a year round passion for a growing base of millions of fans and it’s only gaining momentum.”
Det er altså fuldstændigt sindssygt. Gaming er hvor pengene gemmer sig!
Hvis jeg var dem der udviklede Call of Duty, ville jeg udgive et nyt spil HVERT ÅR!
