Halo 2 Shatters Movie Records Record-breaking game release humbles Hollywood 11 November 2004 Now there are piles of money and there are piles of money, but the whopping sacks of cash that the creators of Halo 2 are currently carting around could probably sink the Titanic. Which is ironic really, given that, at $125 million, the game's first day sales have outperformed any Hollywood blockbuster's opening weekend. Ever.
According to Microsoft, the sequel to the immensely popular Xbox game sold more than 2.38 million copies on its release, which, if you hadn't guessed, is one hell of a lot of games. Not even Spider-Man with its record-breaking $114 million opening weekend can hold a candle to Halo's launch, making this a very good day for the folks at Bungie software, who made it all possible.
