Video Games

Avatar-video-game-cover.jpg


Why are studios creating/releasing video games alongside a movie?


Well I think that's an obvious answer. Money! Money is the root of all evil... I mean answer. When a movie is released, it will probably make millions or even billions in profit. Why not double that profit with a video game? Video games are very popular. With a game attached to a movie, the movie will increase its popularity.


Movie watchers will be enthralled by the movie and would want more... Video game is the answer. It is perfecto. These people want to a part of the story line and now they can do that with a movie. An example is AVATAR. How many people were fascinated by this movie? Um everyone! How much did the movie make? More than $2 billion! The video game grossed almost $1 billion! Wow. That's a lot of money.


On the upper half of the poster are the faces of a man and a female blue alien with yellow eyes, with a giant planet and a moon in the background and the text at the top: "From the director of Terminator 2 and Titanic". Below is a dragon-like animal flying across a landscape with floating mountains at sunset; helicopter-like aircraft are seen in the distant background.  The title "James Cameron's Avatar", film credits and the release date appear at the bottom.When studios produce their own games, they don't have to share the profit or pay a fee to the other company. Cha-ching.. more mula for the studios!


If you want to gross a big profit, produce a movie and release a video game alongside it. You will be set.
