the military shooter sequel's take outstripped the box office take of the number
one movie of the moment:
Activision’s Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® had more than $600 million in sell-through worldwide in its first three days of release. The title has sold more units in its first three days than any other Call of Duty® game sold in its first three days in this console generation, and is the top-selling new premium game release of 2019. Modern Warfare also established a new record as the #1 top-selling digital opening in Activision history. With its blockbuster launch, in its first three days of release, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare more than doubled the box office opening of Joker.
Modern Warfare set new records on the PlayStation Network for the highest digital pre-orders and highest three-day digital sales ever on PlayStation 4. Modern Warfare also has become the #1 top-selling Call of Duty PC launch ever, as opening weekend PC sales on Blizzard Battle.net® were significantly up over last year.

Why do these games continue to sell so well? People really seem to enjoy playing basically the same game with a fresh coat of paint year after year don't they?
It's trending down, at least. It used to be that they didn't have to come up with a bunch of specific accolades to give themselves, the new game each year would simply outsell everything that came before. Now it's the biggest COD release on PC (always the smallest market for these since the original MW), biggest digital release overall, biggest first three days this console generation, biggest release among teenagers that stole mom's credit card to pay for it, etc.
