After spending a long time as one of Hollywood’s least desirable genres, blockbuster movies based on video games may finally be starting to establish themselves as a seriously bankable commodity. Four of the five highest-grossing video game flicks in history have been released since 2016, with Detective Pikachu nabbing the top spot from Warcraft last year, while Sonic the Hedgehog recently passed the $300 million mark at the global box office.
