A $70 game vs a maybe $5 movie ticket, the game has made over a billion dollars the movie not even $500 million

Compare PROFIT, not sales.

Hogwarts Legacy is already profiting massively. Fantastic Beasts was a franchise LOW in box office sales and cost a shit load more to make.

Because it cost $150M or some crazy number to make a movie and maybe. 1-5% to make and market a book.

Hogwarts Legacy wasn't a book it was a AAA video game. The production costs between them probably aren't far off. The real difference is people are spending $70 for a game vs $5 for a movie ticket.
