Video Game Movies: Who Has the Highest Score at the Box Office?

Video game adaptations don’t have the best reputation when it comes to movies; not only in terms of adapting a prior work but as a feature film itself. Few of the video game movies are even liked by fans themselves. Despite the lack of critical success that has been seen, they continue to be made because sometimes they breakthrough the barrier and manage to grab an audience and bring in box office results.

What keeps video games from achieving the pinnacle of critical and commercial success that other art forms have when adapted into movies? Simply, it’s the interactive relationship between the player and the game. When players have the choice of doing what they want, customizing their character or items, and taking a divergent path in a story than their friends, then a new relationship is formed with the game, and that can’t be replicated in a film.

Ranging from the first video game movies, 1993’s Super Mario Bros. based on the hit series by Nintendo, to the latest film in the long line of films, Duncan Jones’ gigantic blockbuster Warcraft, dive into the box office history of video game movies below!
