Or, why Johnny isn't coming in to work today.
First, let's talk about movies. The Incredibles, in its opening weekend, pulled in $70,467,623, according to imdb.com, showing on almost 4,000 screens nationwide. The budget for the film was about $92,000,000. I've no doubt they'll make a profit. Probably a pretty good one. That was a weekend.
Now let's talk about video games. Halo 2, in its first 24 hours of sale, sold 340,000 copies, and made about $125 million. That was one day. The gaming business is big time. Trailers for Halo 2 and Everquest 2 are showing in movie theaters.
Half-Life 2 went live today. So if some of the people you know and love drop off the face of the earth for a day or two, it's possible that they're off to City 17, crowbar in hand, to fight the forces of evil. Me, I'm keeping a low profile because I've got a cold.
Honest.
