Video games have become the kings of entertainment. Neither major Hollywood releases come in its first weekend at the box office sales figures getting into commercial release some of the great sagas in video games.
The racing videogame Grand Theft Auto V, Rock Star Games, has grossed $ 800 million (EUR 590 mln) in its first day on sale, and that still has not landed in markets such as Japan and Brazil. The title has smashed the record for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, who in November 2012 reached 500 million in sales in its first 24 hours on the market.
In fact, the production of some of these titles has nothing to envy to the great films of Tinseltown. For example, the soundtrack of the Call of Duty: Black Ops II has had the collaboration of Trent Reznor, Oscar-winning composer for The Social Network, while the writer is David S. Goyer, who has worked on films such as The Dark Knight.
