Niantic's smash hit Pokémon Go is not just popular among Android and iOS users — it's also the application with the highest gross revenue this year, and will likely remain so if nothing unusual happens in the mobile world.
According to app analytics company Sensor Tower, Niantic's Pokémon Go recently passed $440 million in revenue since its release back in July.
The same report mentions that the gross worldwide revenue coming from the App Store and Google Play in less than two months, put publisher Niantic's net revenue from Pokémon Go at more than $308 million.
The $440 million grossed revenue pushes Pokémon Go ahead of 2016 summer movies like "Warcraft,""Independence Day: Resurgence,""The Angry Birds Movie,""Star Trek Beyond," and "Ghostbusters."
Even though Pokémon Go is not the number 1 grossing app in many countries, Niantic still makes $4 million in worldwide net revenue each day.
Many believe that the Pokémon Go craze is over, it's worth mentioning that the application hasn't been released in India and China, two of the largest smartphones markets in the world.
Another interesting aspect mentioned in the report is the fact that Pokémon Go surpassed 180 million worldwide downloads in the first two months on both the App Store and Google Play.
On top of that, about 12% of all active smartphones in the United States installed Pokémon Go at some point during this time.
Pokémon Go will probably continue to remain a phenomenon for a few more months, or at least until something better emerges. Until then, let's hunt some Pokémon, shall we?
