On behalf of the video game industry, I’d like to congratulate Star Wars – for accomplishing what Fallout 4 did in one day.
That’s right – Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic hit generated more than $750 million in its first 24 hours on the market. The Force Awakens took 20 days to achieve the same feat.
Earlier this month, The Force Awakens launched to the top of the movie industry. Sales from Disney’s space epic surpassed the previous record of $760 million held by the 2009 blockbuster Avatar, cementing The Force Awakens as the highest grossing movie in U.S. history.
