All Hail Master Chief!

WOW a whole whopping ONE example.

Spiderman 3 product tie ins > than Halo 3 tie ins.

Also Halo 3 does NOT have DVD or PPV and cable rights income.

Burger King
Pontiac (A Halo Edition G6)
Mountain Dew Halo 3 Game Fuel limited flavor
Nascar
Zune Halo 3 Edition

Not to mention commercials with large independent movie budgets.

Did I also forget to include that Halo 3 marketing has it's own Wikipedia Page?

Nobody likes a Mr. Know it All. Do your research before you go blabbing off at the mouth.

Finally playing it tonight and I think it is good, but not amazing. I think Bioshock is a much better game. (although I have never been a big multiplayer guy)

Agreed Bioshock was way better. I was expecting Gears of War level of polish to Halo but it just isn't there. It's good but not $170M good.

WOW 4.

Commericals COST money, not make money. No one is paying to watch a commercial like people pay to watch a movie. So your point is moot.

see above.


Once again how many DVD sales is Halo 3 selling? How much money on PPV or cable rights ( ie HBO, Showtime etc ) is Halo 3 making?

Fuck you, I do know what I am talking about. Not to mention the guy who brought this up only used Spiderman 3 DOMESTIC opening box office. Spiderman 3 has actually made $890 million to date worldwide just in box office. Halo 3 has a LONG way to go.

Once GatorB finds something to argue about he sinks his teeth in like a pitbull, and will only stop once the dead horse is properly beaten.


Again,the only point here is that a game has finally topped all other forms of entertainment release for opening day profit generated INCLUDING the top first weekend grossing film of all time.

That's it, that's all.


As far as peripheral and ongoing profits, you can add new sales of XBOX 360's to the list mentioned earlier. That alone is also huge. And down the road MS will likely do the same thing they did with Halo 2 and release H3 in PC game format a few years from now and generate another wave of millions in profit.

So this game in particular has a very good shot at outstripping any and all movies made for ALL income, not just the first day or first weekend. But that in and of itself is huge. I mean who in the past 90-odd years of filmmaking ever forsaw a day when a mere game would do that? Up until now the movie has been king.

Nothing to get all "fuck you" about. :D

I goto admit I am kinda stuck on it:/

Its fucken, fucken fucken awesome!
Pretty intense.

Like all movies that open you have to wait until they come out on dvd. Well Halo movie is in the makes, so when it does, the dvd will follow and your argument will be MOOT. Funny how you scoff at the size of their marketing yet they pushed the game in almost the same fashion as any other BIG movie with mountain dew and Burger King. Those are huge ads that only blockbuster movies even bother purchasing. You sound foolish. Seriously.
