电子游戏改编电影正在经历戏剧性的转变。曾经的商业灾难如今已成为电影工作室争相投资的热门领域。1
20世纪90年代,游戏改编电影几乎无一例外地遭遇票房失利。1《超级马里奥兄弟》(1993)、《街头霸王》(1994)和《真人快打》(1995)都成为票房惨淡的案例。1但这种局面从约2020年开始扭转。1如今,包括《我的世界大电影》(2025)、《生化危机》(2026)和《铁肺》(2026)在内的多部游戏改编电影正在上映或制作中。1这一转变源于多个因素的共同作用:跨代观众基础的建立、游戏文化地位的提升、数字技术的进步以及传媒集团的战略投入。1
大型媒体集团正加大对游戏IP的争夺。1索尼于2019年创立了PlayStation Productions,已改编推出《神秘海域》(2022)和《极速战神》(2023)等作品,还有《直到黎明》(2025)在制作中。1迪士尼于2024年收购了Epic Games 9%的股份,计划建立融合漫威和星战的"社交宇宙"。1与此同时,《塞尔达传说》《艾尔登法环》《使命召唤》等多部游戏改编电影也在筹备中,预计在两年内上映。1
Hollywood's approach to video game adaptations has undergone a dramatic reversal over the past few years. What once represented a consistent source of commercial failure has now become a priority focus for major studios, driven by the cultivation of multi-generational audiences, the rising cultural legitimacy of gaming, advances in digital technology, and strategic investment from media conglomerates.1
The shift began around 2020, marking a turning point from the early industry disasters that defined the 1990s and early 2000s.1 Films like "Super Mario Bros." (1993), "Street Fighter" (1994), and "Mortal Kombat" (1995) all performed poorly at the box office, establishing a reputation for video game films as unreliable ventures.1 Today, the landscape has transformed completely, with multiple adaptations in production or recently released, including "Minecraft: The Movie" (2025), "Resident Evil" (2026), and "The Iron Lung" (2026).1
Large media corporations are now actively investing in this space. Disney acquired a 9% stake in Epic Games in 2024 and plans to develop a "social universe" integrating Marvel and Star Wars properties.1 Sony established PlayStation Productions in 2019, which has since produced adaptations including "Uncharted" (2022), "Gran Turismo" (2023), and "Until Dawn" (2025).1 Looking ahead, adaptations of "The Legend of Zelda," "Elden Ring," and "Call of Duty" are in development and expected to arrive within two years.1
