This Game Earned Rs 5,000 Crore In 3 Days, Money Even Most Hollywood Blockbusters Fail To Earn

Infinity War was by far the most successful Marvel movie ever released, breaking global weekend box-office records when it came out in 2018.

Now, a game has managed to beat Infinity War's opening weekend by a cool $95 million.

Red Dead Redemption 2, which launched a couple of days ago, had the largest opening weekend of any entertainment content period, burning through a whopping $725 million in game copies over just three days.

In fact, it holds the second place, for highest earnings by any media content, first place for which belongs to another title from Rockstar Games, 2013's Grand Theft Auto V (it launched on a Tuesday).

Additionally, because Grand Theft Auto V launched for previous gen consoles, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, that means Red Dead Redemption 2 is now the highest-grossing game for current gen consoles.

Rockstar hasn't released any sales numbers yet, but it's estimated to be somewhere over 10 million copies sold. Specifically, more than 10 million copies sold to customers, not from publishers to retailers.

If anything, RDR2 deserves all the love it's getting, given how great the game has turned out after a grueling eight years in development hell. Not for nothing though, it has some of the most intricate features and details we've seen from Rockstar Games yet.
