The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been a huge success, paving the way for tons of other video game adaptations.
The massive success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie means other video game movies have become more likely. The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been breaking box-office records left and right, with Illumination Entertainment's hit film putting the spotlight on the iconic Nintendo franchise once again. As it typically goes in Hollywood, the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie most likely means that tons of other studios will start developing family-friendly video game projects.
8 The Legend Of Zelda The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises, and with Mario proving to be a huge success, Nintendo may look into bringing Link's fantasy world of Hyrule to the big screen. The tone and target demographic of The Legend of Zelda switches frequently, and while a more adult movie would be fun, that probably won't happen.
5 Splatoon Although it's a more recent franchise, Nintendo's Splatoon series would also make sense for a video game movie. Splatoon has been a huge hit since its 2015 debut, with the series managing to rise above the failing Wii U console that it appeared on. The lore of Splatoon is incredibly deep, with the action-packed shooter actually taking place in a post-apocalyptic aquatic world.
3 Star Fox Star Fox is another major Nintendo series, and while it has the same target demographic as The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it is unique enough that it would stand out in its field. Star Fox is an intergalactic space drama centering on a group of pilots that are tasked with taking down a dangerous scientist. The scale of Star Fox is massive, with it easily having enough content to get sequels of its own.
