Activision announced Friday (November 16th) that Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the latest entry in the wildly successful Call of Duty video game franchise, made more than $500 million worldwide in the first 24 hours it was on sale. That makes it the biggest entertainment launch of the year, following the lead of Call of Duty releases for the past three years. Activision says that sales of all the Call of Duty video games top worldwide box office receipts for the Harry Potter and Star Wars movies, the two most successful movie franchises of all time. Black Ops II's launch day take tops that of last year's entry, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which made $400 million in its first 24 hours.
