Highest-grossing games vs highest grossing movies

In the last decade, the gaming industry has been smashing Hollywood’s earnings out of the park.

The gaming industry is now consistently bigger than the film industry with the top games earning more than the big blockbusters.

The top sellers include Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption Two, Fall Out 4 and the Call of Duty franchise. One thing all of these games have in common is that they don’t skimp on the characterisation and take as much care with the story as any Avengers or Jurassic Park.
