Okay, don’t waste time trying to think what movie it is. Don’t struggle to think what’s showing in the UK just now and what it could be. It’s a not a movie.
“…sold an estimated 677,000 copies on its first two days on sale, according to Chart-Track figures extrapolated from its 6500-strong retail panel…commanding an average sale price of around √جø¬Ω35.45, Chart-Track has placed the total revenue generated by retailers at just over √جø¬Ω24 million, beating the UK’s biggest ever movie box office opening weekend of √جø¬Ω23.88 million, set by Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban earlier this year.”
According to Eurogamer, with figures from Sky is falling, that Box Office beater is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
It has even beaten Star Wars Trilogy on DVD:
“…with less people buying the lower-priced DVD box set of the Star Wars Trilogy – in itself a record sell-through for a DVD with around 550,000 sales in its opening weekend…”
Staggering to say the least, and it ties in nicely with a previous stories about the blurring of video games and cinema: Silent Hill The Movie – Games to Screen and Actors and computer games.
The next target, which isn’t looking so easily obtainable, is the worldwide all-time record. Currently held by Titanic for √جø¬Ω69 million. Good luck guys, with such an excellent, and truly cinematic game such as this the hard work is paying off.
