Red Dead Redemption 2 had the largest opening weekend for any entertainment product in history, managing to sell through $725 million in copies over just three days.
It’s actually the second-highest grossing entertainment launch, although Rockstar won’t be too unhappy with that, given that the record-holder is Grand Theft Auto V.
The discrepancy between biggest opening weekend and biggest overall launch comes down to the fact that the last GTA was released on a Tuesday.
