GTA 6 Is Going To Be Huge. So Why Is Take-Two’s Stock Having Such A Bad Year?

GTA 6 Is Going To Be Huge. So Why Is Take-Two’s Stock Having Such A Bad Year? https://ift.tt/WumgPLN Take-Two owns one of the largest entertainment franchises out there in Grand Theft Auto. The newest entry, GTA 6, launches this November. There is enormous hype for the new game, which is expected to sell millions of copies at launch and break records. In short, it's expected to be a once-in-a-decade (if not ever) kind of title. The game is also coming to market with a lot of positive sentiment and excitement. If you're a Take-Two shareholder, however, the past year has been a big bummer. Take-Two's share price has slid about 15% so far this year and is down about the same over the past year, meaning anyone who invested in the past year has lost money (at least on paper; gains or losses are not realized until positions are sold) in the run-up to GTA 6's release in November.  What's going on here?

When Michael Bay was directing Transformers movies, they weren't exactly pinnacles of storytelling. In fact, they had awful stories that never even made sense together--each new movie would open with some reveal that made every previous movie make even less sense than they already did. But they were also Michael Bay movies, which means that (aside from Revenge of the Fallen) they had tons of extremely dope action and generally looked sick as hell even during the non-action parts.

Rise of the Beasts, from Creed II director Steven Caple Jr, doesn't look terrible or anything like that. It just looks like a generic big-budget, CGI-heavy affair. There's no flair, no signature to it. And so it's a major problem that the story is bad, because the filmmaking doesn't elevate the experience to make up for that.
