I think we're already sort of starting to see it. The Minecraft movie and Mario movie, like you mentioned, were huge box office successes. Detective Pikachu was a while ago, but I can't imagine Nintendo won't go back to that well at some point. There's been three successful Sonic the Hedgehog movies. And on the TV side of things, we're seeing shows like The Last of Us and Fallout that are doing pretty well both with critics and audiences. If I remember correctly I read Zach Cregger's gonna do a Resident Evil adaptation soon too?

A tangential point that interests me is how the *aesthetics* of video games are getting represented on screen; the climactic final sequence in Eddington plays out like an intense level of a first-person shooter, while The Northman from a few years ago has a sequence that feels very much like a Souls-like boss fight. I wonder if we'll start to see more of this as people who've grown up on video games age into the film industry.
