Nintendo Planning More Movies Based on Its Franchises

For years, turning video games into movies was considered a recipe for disaster in Hollywood. Attempts, whether animated like Final Fantasy or live-action like Max Payne, rarely succeeded. But the 2020s have changed everything, with huge hits like Sonic the Hedgehog, Fallout, Arcane, and The Last of Us. The Super Mario Bros. Movie, from Illumination, was a particularly big success, earning over a billion dollars worldwide. With a Mario sequel and a live-action Zelda film in the works, this trend shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
