The year at the box office didn't help much with their video games.
In April, with film studios and media groups increasingly participating in video games based on their film and television properties, some companies even invested hundreds of millions of dollars. S.
Sales data from the NPD Group provide some sobering news.
All five video games based on movies have recently sold poorly or moderately: "What you want: "Weapons of Fate" is the first video game of high-end consoles such as Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 funded by Universal (
It was issued by Warner Bros. , a bit ironic. ).
From its debut in March 24 to the end of April, "Wanted" sold only 100,000 units, with a total sales of less than $6 million.
While its performance has been hurt by production delays, this has made the game nearly four months after launching the "Wanted" DVD in December (
The film never had a chance to be released in the last June drama debut)
There is no doubt that global airlines still holds higher hopes
Prior to any marketing, the first tier products of 360 and PS3 usually cost more than $20 million.

This means that electronic art will not put resources into the third "Godfather" game, a decision that will lead to the return of rights to the highest.
Reddick Chronicles is a dead franchise on the big screen.
But games based on universal 2004 movies have been hailed by many fans and critics as the best interactive adaptation of the film.
So, after the merger of Vivendi Games with Activision, the former publisher, Atari purchased a sequel to the video game, and he has every reason for the Reddick Chronicles: attacking the Dark Athena feels "it features the digital portrait and sound of Vin Diesel.
However, players have only purchased 100,000 copies since their debut in March 17.
Games based on popular children's movies are usually as safe as when they come.
But Activision's adaptation of DreamWorks Animation monster and Monster
The alien has sold only 161,000 units since its release in March 27. (
Sales figures do not include the PC version, although there are very few significant differences. )
Of course, as The Times recently reported, overall sales of video games fell by 23% in April, so these games didn't go against the trend.
