It's difficult to predict with certainty whether video game movies will be the next big thing in the way that superhero movies have been in recent years. While there have been some successful video game adaptations, such as the recent "Mario Bros." movie and the "Sonic The Hedgehog" movie, there have also been many critical and commercial failures in the past.
However, it's worth noting that video games have become increasingly popular and mainstream in recent years, with many franchises achieving huge levels of success and developing passionate fanbases. This, combined with the popularity of movies and the potential for cross-promotion between the two mediums, could make video game movies an attractive prospect for studios looking for new blockbuster franchises.
Ultimately, the success of video game movies will depend on a variety of factors, including the quality of the films themselves, the strength of the source material, and the ability of studios to market and promote them effectively. While there is certainly potential for video game movies to become a major force in the entertainment industry, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to replicate the massive success of superhero movies.
