Did a movie/show based on a game


ever been successful?

reply

I thought the original Mortal movie as pretty enjoyable. And i thought the Sonic movie that came out last march was good. I think Video Game movies are getting better. But i haven't seen a show based on Video Games that any good. Except for the animated ones.

reply

I actually think i liked Warcraft but I'm biased ...

But I'm mostly asking about success, not likeable ...

reply

I liked the Silent Hill movie, but I never played the games.

reply

Play the second one and you'll consider the movie bad :D

reply

BY SUCCESSFUL DO YOU PROFITABLE OR LEGITIMATELY GOOD?

MORTAL KOMBAT AND WARCRAFT WERE BOTH HUGE MONEY MAKERS AS WELL AS TOMB RAIDER AND A FEW OTHERS.

AS FAR AS GOOD?...MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME MOVIE IS SUPER MARIO BROTHERS...THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.

reply

Both, legit good and profitable ...

I think Warcraft lost money.

"Warcraft grossed $47.4 million in the United States, and $391.7 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $439 million.[3] Given its $160 million net production budget, The Hollywood Reporter reported the film needed to earn at least $450 million to break-even.[43][44] In July 2016, the magazine reported the film lost the studio around $15 million, although noted several executives put the losses in the $30–40 million range.[45] Worldwide, it is the highest-grossing film of all time based on a video game (breaking Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time's record).[46] It is the first video game film to cross $400 million in ticket sales globally"

Check your sources, they suck (as usual :D )

And which MK are you talking about?

reply

MY BAD...I JUST ASSUMED IT MADE MONEY GIVEN ITS MONSTER WORLDWIDE HAUL.


I DONT LOOK SHIT UP,OR QUOTE SOURCES...IM JUST MOVIECHATTING...YOU'RE BEING A RUDE LITTLE BITCH (AS USUAL).

MORTAL KOMBAT(1995)...DID QUITE WELL.

reply

"I DONT LOOK SHIT UP,OR QUOTE SOURCES...IM JUST MOVIECHATTING"

explains why you sounds uniformed and ignorant :D

The first MK did decent (just because it had a LOW budget). The second and the reboot not so good.

reply

LMAO...YOU GUYS AND YOUR CITING SOURCES AND DEEP DIVE RESEARCH...THIS ISNT A FORUM FOR HALF ASSED JOURNALISTS...ITS FOR HAVING A BIT OF FUN CHATTING FLICKS...CALM YOURSELF.


ALL THE TOMB RAIDERS,THE RESIDENT EVILS,RAMPAGE,ANGRY BIRDS,POKEMON FLICKS,SONIC,AND PRINCE OF PERSIA ALL DID WELL AT THE BOX OFFICE....THOUGH IT DOESNT MATTER,AS YOU ARENT INTERESTED IN A DISCUSSION...JUST A SOURCES CITED ARGUMENT.

I’m interested in a conversation based on reality, not your fantasy world. I’m not interested in your fantasies on how the earth is flat.

If we exchange information it better be accurate, otherwise why bother?

Btw, prince of Persia was a flop as well.

Tomb Raider (2018) with a ~50% ratting on rat is no success. Maybe it made some profits but quite low.

The other 2 didn’t make that much either.

reply

MONEY MAKERS,BABY...I NEVER SPOKE ON QUALITY...ONLY EARNING...PRINCE OF PERSIA IS THE ONLY HOLE YOU POKED IN ANYTHING I SAID AND IT SAT AS THE HIGHEST EARNING VIDEO GAME FILM FOR SOME TIME...IF THEY OVERSPENT ON THE BUDGET...THATS ON THEM...IT STILL MADE A TON.

reply

I clearly said "to be good and make money" - both.

Ah, you cannot understand the written word? Oh, poor you ...

To make money = to have a profit after you draw the line. Prince of persia DIDN'T MAKE MONEY, AND FOR SURE NOT A TON - writing in caps, maybe this way you understand ... something.

reply

IT MADE A TON OF MONEY...APPARENTLY IT JUST COST MORE TO MAKE THAN IT MADE.


I HONESTLY DONT CARE ANYMORE...YOU ARENT FUN TO TALK TO AT ALL...YOU TYPE LIKE A TEENAGE GIRL WITH A PERSONALITY DEFECT.

reply

I know that you are dumb, but this kind of dumb I didn’t expect.

If it lost money (expenses higher than revenue) how the hell can you say that it made money???

reply

IM THE DUMB ONE?...IT WAS IN THE THEATERS...IT SOLD TICKETS...IT MADE A LOT OF MONEY...IT WAS THE HIGHEST FROSSING VIDEO GAME MOVIE FOR A WHILE....APPARENTLY THEY HAD A HUGE BUDGET WHICH THE FILM FAILED TO RECOUP...OK...THATS FAIR...BUT THE MOVIE MADE(TICKET SALES) A LOT OF MONEY...JUST NOT ENOUGH TO BREAK EVEN OR HIT PROFIT...

reply

You are too dumb to understand the concept of "making money".

If you spend 2 billions in a business and you make 1.5 billions that means you LOST money. You DIDN'T make money although you had a revenue of 1.5billions.

Capisci?

That's what "making money" means: to gain MORE than your expenses. Otherwise is called "losing money".

Really, is it THAT HARD for you? I know you are not the brightest bulb in the room but still ...

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/make%20money

Definition of make money: to make a profit

reply

LMAO...I WAS HOPING TO HAVE 100 DOLLARS AFTER MY JOHNS TODAY.SO I INVESTED 60 IN LINGERIE...I ONLY MADE 40...I DID NOT LOSE MONEY TODAY...I MADE MONEY...JUST NOT ENOUGH TO COVER MY INVESTMENT...


...ITS FUNNY HOW HARD PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILL WORK TO ARGUE EVEN WHEN NOT REALLY DISAGREEING.🙂

reply

Like me? Pick up a mirror. you are the only one that insists on "it made money".

I just showed you that you are wrong. Or just a miserable troll. And dumb :D

reply

THIS WHOLE THING IS BASED ON YOUR MISINTERPRETAION OF MY WORDS..."IT MADE A LOT OF MONEY"...IT FAILED TO TURN A PROFIT,I AGREE...BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE BOUGHT TICKETS ...IT MADE A LOT OF MONEY...CASH EXCHANGED FOR TICKETS ADDED UP TO MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS...HAD IT COST 12 MILLION TO MAKE,BASED ON THE BOX OFFICE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MONSTER HIT.

reply

WTF DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND???

TO MAKE MONEY MEANS TO MAKE A PROFIT. BY DEFINITION!

IF YOU DON'T MAKE A PROFIT IT MEANS YOU DIDN'T MAKE MONEY. BY DEFINITION.

WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU TO GRASP SUCH A SIMPLE CONCEPT???

reply

NOW,WHEN YOU SAY "DEFINITION"...WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?....THAT WORD IS UNFAMILIAR.

reply

original mortal kombat and resident evil films were pretty decent.

This film is kind of a slam dunk - that is, the writing is all there, they just need to replace cgi with actors.
At the same time, you are better off just seeing a game movie, since the remake will probably be worse - it usually is.

reply

They made money but I can’t say I liked MK or RE movies.

reply

Tomb Raider was decent. Hitman 2007 was decent. I would say Rampage, Silent Hill and Warcraft were ok, a little cheesy but... better than average when it comes to videogame movies. I thought the new MK was a waste of time, but Annihilation was pretty much unwatchable for me. There's some kind of MK miniseries on Youtube that I think is way better, better casting and atmosphere and everything.

reply

Guess you never heard of the Resident Evil franchise.

reply

you mean the netflix show? :D :D :D
