Uncharted 4 sold 16 million copies. I know not every game sold at face value, but in theory if it had, at $60 a game that’s $960 million in sales. I’m sure the money they made from microtransactions in the multiplayer/co-op area made up for a chunk of games that were sold on sale, so $900 million really isn’t unfathomable for the game.
By comparison, Thor Love and Thunder had done $760 million world wide. The Freddie Mercury biopic did $910 million.
Keep in mind, not every game hits those numbers though. So while it’s possible that games can run with those big movie box office returns, it’s not always the case, especially for games not as widely known.
It was once stated by a member of the collecting community who is no longer with us that most production runs on these figures not made by Hot Toys was around 1500-2000, and I believe that number was corroborated by people in the know. I think that’s why companies are willing to take chances on making figures for Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, Resident Evil, Horizon, etc. But it’s definitely tougher to make a case for more niche games.
