The industry is enjoying a wave of acclaimed adaptations bringing hit games franchises to cinemas and televisions.
The Super Mario Bros Movie is still the third biggest animated film of all time (second before Inside Out 2 came out last month), the Fallout and Last Of Us series drew in millions of viewers, and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is expected to continue the success of its forebears when it hits the silver screen this Christmas. The wave even continues this week with the debut of Gearbox’s Borderlands movie.
David Alpert, CEO and co-founder of Walking Dead firm Skybound, is confident this is not a passing fad but the beginning of a much larger movement.
