GoKawiilVideo game adaptations replace superhero films as Hollywood's dominant trend
Hollywood is increasingly turning to video game properties for film and TV adaptations as superhero content declines, following the box-office success of Illumination's $1.3 billion Super Mario Bros. Movie and critically praised shows like The Last of Us and Fallout. This marks a dramatic turnaround from the disastrous 1993 Super Mario Bros. film, which flopped due to mismatched tonal choices and studio interference.
