GTA 5 cost 265 million to make and advertise o.O bigger than 99% of hollywood movies

I don't know if this is true. First of all Avatar was a much bigger project than Pirates of the Carribean 4. Especially when counting marketing costs as well. The only plausible reason is perhaps that they needed first a lot of licenses for music, more voice actors than usual and motion capturing.

However if this amount is true than that means we're going to see a lot of advertising everywhere on this world and perhaps the costs of a PC/next-gen versions are included.
