>For much of their Hollywood history, videogame adaptations have failed to make it to the next level.
>The vast majority of videogames adapted for the big screen have either been beaten up at the box office, or rejected by critics.
>“It’s a head scratcher,” said ComScore media analyst Paul Dergarabedian, because videogames are wildly popular.
>At its peak, the Warcraft videogame had 12.5 million players worldwide, according to MKM Partners analyst Eric Handler. For that movie to do well, it has to appeal to more than just the fans of the game. Just based on the film’s trailer, Handler seemed skeptical. He found the trailer confusing and unlikely to appeal to a broader audience.

Money

Video games' revenue model is to get large amounts of money from a fairly narrow minority of people. Film's revenue model is to get $10 from everyone. Video game movies combine the worst of both models, since only gamers see them and they're paying a lot less per capita then they do for the games.
This isn't rocket science. Why can't Hollywood figure it out?

Video games make money. Film studios want a piece of that.

Why wasnt warcraft made when it was actually popular? It peaked long ago why make it now?

Jesus Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider was both perfectly cast and intimidatingly sexy

If Assassin's Creed and Warcraft are both shit then it's over from video game movies.

If they turn out good tho, vidyashit will explode.

Movies take a long time to make, but even longer to *get* made.

It's a shame she's reduced herself to skin & bones.

because even if it flops its great marketing for the games themselves

and usually video game movies following directly after or before a new release in the series

AAA game revenue >>>>> hollywood films

Because you occasionally get masterworks like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter or Angry Birds.
