Its only about IPs, that’s the easiest way to make a ton of money with nearly zero effort. Video games have way more fans globally than superhero comics.
IDK, the old Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Super Mario Brothers, and Silent Hill live action movies weren’t extremely well received. To say it is only the result of the IP and nothing else is not exactly true IMO, there is more to it than that.
I think those films generally fall into the either the “don’t know how to turn it into a movie” or “the fans will buy anything” camps.
Now, gaming movies are getting bigger budgets and such, and probably more involvement from the game companies.
EDIT: Also, the IPs now have way more fans than they did before. Thinking of SMB, at least
What’s a blockbuster movie anyways…I know what it used to be in the 90/00s but these days…lol
Might as well be AAAAAAAA games cause they all suck.
It’s basically the term for a AAA movie. Big budget, aimed at mass audiences.
