Activision Blizzard has published a financial report that shows that more than half of the total revenue came from mobile games in the last quarter, more than PC and console games combined.The report covers the three months up to and including June 30, during which time Activision Blizzard earned £273.4million ($332million) from PC games, and £309.6million ($376million) from console sales. Staggeringly, from “mobile and ancillary” sales the company brought in £684.3million ($831million) therefore accounting for more than 50 per cent of total income.If Activision Blizzard were to include income from their “Other” category, which includes income from the Overwatch and Call of Duty leagues as well as its distribution business, which is at an impressive £86.5million ($105million), it still would be less than 50 per cent of its total revenue.At the same point last year console and mobile revenues were much more competitive with one another.
Consoles accounted for approximately 32 per cent of the total income, whilst mobile saw around 35 per cent. PC brought in 27 per cent.This shows an unmistakable growth year on year for mobile.
PC and consoles declined sharply, whilst mobile grew 5 per cent. The majority of Activision Blizzard’s income came from King, the mobile game publisher Activision acquired in 2016, which was responsible for more than 82 per cent of the total mobile revenue.
King are the company behind Candy Crush, the US’ most successful mobile game for five consecutive years.Diablo Immortal is another mobile game that comes from Activision Blizzard, and has faced extreme criticism regarding its monetisation, yet has achieved a massive 30 million players just two months since launching.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterIs everyone on vacation?That would be one plausible explanation behind the great box office slowdown. Although three new movies opened nationwide, none were able to crack the top five on domestic charts and only two — A24’s satirical slasher “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and Lionsgate’s low-budget, vertigo-inducing thriller “Fall” — managed to infiltrate the top 10.It’s even more dire that Sony’s action-thriller “Bullet Train,” which claimed the top spot for the second weekend in a row with $13.1 million from 4,357 North American locations, was the sole film to bank at least $10 million in ticket sales. After two weeks on the big screen, the Brad Pitt-led “Bullet Train” has generated $54.4 million at the domestic box office.
Guy Lodge Film CriticA cemetery is not an auspicious choice of rendezvous point for an estranged father and son arranging what might be one last meeting in “A Perfect Day for Caribou,” but the dry joke of Jeff Rutherford’s tender, affectingly reserved first feature is that things get more melancholic still when they leave its glum confines. Set over the course of a single day on the fringes of some dead American anytown, this at once quiet and talkative two-hander covers no especially new ground, but strides known territory with a keen eye for lonesome landscapes, and an ear for the eternal communicative impasse felt by men who know each other all too well and not at all. Sturdy, thoughtful performances from Jeb Berrier and, in particular, rising star Charlie Plummer should hook distributor interest in this low-key indie following its premiere in Locarno’s newcomer-oriented Cineasti de Presente strand.
