One of the biggest premieres that has occurred lately has been that of a Minecraft film, on which it must be admitted that it has been a real bombshell and does not stop sweeping at the box office. So far it has managed to generate More than 550 million dollars worldwidedemonstrating that it has been a success to bring the famous Mojang video game to the big screen, which is also the most selling in history.
Even so, not all adaptations have ended up obtaining a good result, as happened with the Borderlands movie. However, in recent years We have seen some really amazingas The Last of Us series that has just received its second season, the Super Mario Bros. animation film and also Fallout’s real action series.
Moreover, the awards and good reviews of the latter, as well as the results that the film is reaping Minecraftthey have given Phil Spencer, Xbox’s chief, enough confidence to Follow the same example with more franchisesas he has confessed in an interview with Variety. He has even dropped that there could be an additional project.
He has given us more confidence to do more. We already like our community seems to give it a lot of energy. I think we learn something through our creative processes every time we find a good partner who shares his point of view on how to tell the different parts of the story. I go back to Halo. We learned halo, we learn by doing Fallout. All these projects build themselves and, obviously, we will have a couple that fail. It is simply part of it.
But I think what I would say to the community who likes this work is that they will see more, because we are gaining confidence and learning with this. That is why I find it difficult to advance anything specific, because although I know everything that is in creative process, I want to give them time and I do not want to press them too much. I like the stories that our teams are writing and the games they are throwing. There is a lot of interest in traditional media and that makes us happy.
Even so, we who come to watch series or movies from other great sagas It does not have to become a rule From now on. More than anything because Spencer is very clear that the video game business is successful on their own, so it does not want each franchise to have to have its own film or series.
