On Wednesday he reported on the strong fiscal results of the second quarter and raised his outlook for the entire year immediately after the opening of a monster for his latest video game release.
The company said that the fifth installment of its successful franchise "Grand Theft Auto" is still very popular, with sales for life that now exceed 100 million units, while its series of basketball simulation "NBA 2K" generated record sales during the quarter.
Revenue rose 11% to $ 492.7 million, while net income increased to 22 cents per share from a loss of 3 cents per share. High-margin digital revenue, including full game downloads and sales of virtual goods, grew 18% to $ 358.4 million, the company said.
In addition, net reserves, which exclude deferrals, increased 1.1% with respect to the previous year to $ 583.4 million. Take-Two had led from $ 500 million to $ 550 million in net reserves, while analysts expected $ 550 million, according to Refinitiv. Digitally delivered net reserves increased 20% to $ 426.2 million, Take-Two said.
Going forward, Take-Two is now more optimistic about fiscal year 2019 after "Red Dead Redemption II" generated $ 725 million in its first three days in the market last month. Compared

"Avengers: Infinity War" opened to more than $ 630 million worldwide in April, according to Box Office Mojo, which makes it the best-selling movie ticket of all time.
In its earnings report, Take-Two also said that the new game "Red Dead" has already sold more than 17 million units worldwide. That's more than the original Western shoot -'- up sold in its first eight years.
The company improved its outlook for fiscal year 2019 and said it now expects net reserves to vary from $ 2.8 billion to $ 2.9 billion, compared to an earlier forecast of $ 2.7 billion to $ 2.8 billion.
Take-Two is scheduled for this month to launch "Red Dead Redemption Online", a free companion to the base game that will sell virtual products. It is expected to be an important revenue engine for the company, as has been the case in recent years for the online version of "Grand Theft Auto".
In an earnings call with analysts, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said he does not expect the new "Red Dead" game to lose players' interest in "Grand Theft Auto."
"We do not see any cannibalization, nor do I expect any," he said.
