Halo 2 Clears Record $125 Million In First Day

November 12th 2004 | Games Consoles

“Halo 2″ introduces online play to the franchise, and Microsoft is counting on the game to drive a surge in subscriptions for its Xbox Live online gaming service. “It’s a great showcase title in terms of…exploiting the underlying power of Xbox and Xbox Live and really showing people what’s possible.” Shane Kim, general manager of Microsoft Game Studios, told CNET News.com.

The game’s $125 million opening day lives up to Microsoft predictions that “Halo 2″ would eclipse even the biggest Hollywood openings. “Spider-Man” holds the record for biggest opening weekend box office take, raking in a comparatively paltry $114 million over three days.
