‘Documentary about Grand Theft Auto’s financial success is in production’

How do you make six billion dollars in five years from a game? Ask Rockstar, because that studio managed to make that happen with Grand Theft Auto V. A documentary is now being made about the financial success of the GTA games, according to ScreenDaily.

ScreenDaily reports that Salon Pictures is in the process of filming. Few details are known about the content, but the title is The Billion Dollar Game, which makes it clear that the documentary will be about the financial success of the franchise. Archive footage and new interview material are used.

GTA: V is a game that captures the imagination in many ways. When the game came out in 2013, it was mainly the single player campaign that was highly successful. Five years later, publisher Take-Two is still raking in tons of money with the sale of the game and in-game purchases in GTA Online.

The open world game breaks record after record, for example, almost 100 million copies of the game had been delivered in August and that milestone has probably been passed by now. Grand Theft Auto V has been named as the most successful entertainment product in history in terms of revenue.
