From the 1993 "Super Mario Bros.", the game-adapted movie has started its own extremely bumpy road - the reputation and the box office have become the consistent impression of such films. However, many works have also achieved success. Today, the editor will give you a list of the movies adapted from the highest box office revenue in recent years - you may have played the game, but have you seen the movies?
Tenth place: Need for Speed
Cost: 66 million; Box office: 200 million; Release year: 2014
Environmental Speed, a classic racing game under EA, I believe you have heard of it even if you haven't played it. As a game with an extremely strong player base, this adapted movie finally achieved a box office of US$200 million, and its IMDb 6.5 rating is not high, but compared to the average rating of 4-5 points for the game adapted movie, it can be said to be a "successful" movie, which at least shows that it has been recognized by many game fans.
Ninth place: Tomb Raider: The Battle of Origin
Cost: 100 million (?); Box office: 200 million; Release year: 2018
The Tomb Raider series has long been labeled as Angelina Jolie. Although Alicia Vikander has a good figure and appearance, at least it will not be much worse than Julie when she was young, she always feels that her temperament is not interesting. The reason why this movie has achieved a box office of 200 million is related to the fact that there is Daniel Wu in the movie - Chinese movie fans contributed nearly 100 million US dollars in box office.
The Eighth Place: Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
Cost: 40 million; box office: 210 million; release year: 2017
The most successful game-adapted movie in the history of world cinema is the "Resident Evil" series. So far, 6 movies adapted to this survival horror game have been released, with the lowest box office of 130 million. It can be said that the profit of its movie must exceed the game itself. However, although this movie is called "final chapter", we know that Capcom released the VR game "Resident Evil 7" last year and won almost all the "2017 Best AR/VR Game Awards" that can be won. I wonder if there will be another movie.
Seventh place: Assassin's Creed
Cost: 125 million; Box office: 230 million; Release year: 2017
As the most famous action-adventure game under Ubisoft, the "Assassin's Creed" series has been sold out in full swing. "Assassin's Creed 2" once made the game's protagonist Egio the "game protagonist with the most magazine covers in a year". The player base is strong, but the movie is unsatisfactory. Many people complained that the movie was "a disaster." However, its final box office was fixed at 230 million, and it still made a lot of money.
Sixth place: Resident Evil 5
Cost: 65 million; box office: 240 million; release yearFile: 2012
The Resident Evil series has the lowest rating, with an IMDb score of only 5.4. But this is probably the most familiar movie among Chinese people in this series, because the Aida King in it is played by Li Bingbing. However, many people complained that it was because of Li Bingbing that the movie was so low. In fact, it was purely speculation, because King Aida was originally a Chinese in the game, and Li Bingbing played it well.
Fifth place: Tomb Raider
Cost: 115 million; box office: 275 million; release year: 2001
Laura Crawford, the heroine in the action-adventure game "Tomb Raider", has been equated with Angelina Jolie by many people. It is estimated that many people who see the word "Tomb Raider" first come to their minds. This movie, released in 2001, achieved a box office of 275 million yuan, which can be said to be one of the most successful movies of that year. However, the cost of this movie is not low at 115 million - I guess I have invested a lot in Julie's pay.
Fourth place: Resident Evil 4
Cost: 60 million; Box office: 296 million; Release year: 2010
The Resident Evil series has the highest box office and the most profitable one. And this is also the first time that Resident Evil has tried 3D production - this may be the reason why Resident Evil 4 can finally achieve a high box office. However, 3D technology makes this movie, which already belongs to the category of "horror movies", even more thrilling. I don’t know if my friends went to the cinema to watch this movie back then.
Third: Persian Prince: Sands of Time
Cost: 200 million; Box office: 336 million; Release year: 2010
As the most expensive game adaptation film in the history of world cinema, the production cost of "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" reached 200 million US dollars! It can be said to be a big Hollywood production, but fortunately its box office reached 336 million, and it still made a lot of money. Moreover, its IMDb score is not low, so it is considered a relatively successful game adaptation movie. But to be honest, compared to the game, its movie version is more well-known - not many people have played this game in China.
Second place: Angry Birds
Cost: 73 million; Box office: 350 million; Release year: 2016
"Angry Birds" can be said to be one of the most successful game adaptations. Unlike most game-adapted movies that are criticized for the plot and "restore degree", "Angry Birds" has a good plot and is an animated movie, so "restore degree" is relatively easy to achieve, so it is reasonable to achieve a high box office. However, its IMDb6.3 rating makes people a little confused - can the person who scores want to watch the live version of "Angry Birds"?
First place: Warcraft
Cost: 160 million; box office: 433 million; release year: 2016
The influence of "Warcraft" in the game world is no longer necessary, right? When this movie was released, it was "very much anticipated" - I remember that I had a few friends born in the 1980s around me who had been discussing this movie, but since I had never played this game, I couldn't see it even when I watched it. Although the final score of "Warcraft" IMDb is only 7 points, this is the highest-rated game adaptation movie in recent years. Do you dare to believe it?
