A Minecraft Movie is set to kick off an unprecedented year for video game adaptations at the movies. Video game movies have existed nearly as long as video games themselves, with the first major English-language adaptation being 1993’s Super Mario Bros., which debuted just under two decades after the first commercial home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. While many of these movies have been critical or commercial flops, over the years, the genre has increasingly produced both critical darlings like Werewolves Within (86% on Rotten Tomatoes) and box office hits like the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.363 billion).
