# List of highest-grossing films based on video games

This is a list of the highest-grossing films based on video games, primarily both live-action and animated films.
As of February 2025, Nintendo's The Super Mario Bros. Movie held the distinction as the highest-grossing video game film, while Pokémon is the highest-grossing video game film franchise and Resident Evil is the highest-grossing video game live-action film franchise.

## Rules

Any type of video game, including RPG Makers, visual novels, digital pets and pocket gadgets, is included on the list. Exceptionally, films such as Tron, Wreck-It Ralph, Pixels, and Ready Player One are inspired by video games (and, in many cases, include actual video game characters making appearances), but are not adapted from any actual video game, so they are not included. Physical games, or board games like Dungeons & Dragons and Ouija, are also not included.

The following is a list of grossing films based on video games, all films have had a theatrical run (including re-releases) since 1993, films that have not played during this period do not appear on the chart because of ticket-price inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends not being considered.
Pokémon is the most frequent franchise with 12 films on the list, while Nintendo is the most frequent publisher with 15 films on the list. As the only video game film to gross $1 billion worldwide, The Super Mario Bros. Movie sits among the 20 highest-grossing films of all time.

## List of highest-grossing video game film adaptations adjusted for inflation

(Excerpt from: List of highest-grossing films)
"Because of the long-term effects of inflation, notably the significant increase of movie theater ticket prices, the list unadjusted for inflation gives far more weight to later films. The unadjusted list, while commonly found in the press, is therefore largely meaningless for comparing films widely separated in time, as many films from earlier eras will never appear on a modern unadjusted list, despite achieving higher commercial success when adjusted for price increases. To compensate for the devaluation of the currency, some charts make adjustments for inflation, but not even this practice fully addresses the issue, since ticket prices and inflation do not necessarily parallel one another. For example, in 1970, tickets cost $1.55 or about $6.68 in inflation-adjusted 2004 dollars; by 1980, prices had risen to about $2.69, a drop to $5.50 in inflation-adjusted 2004 dollars. Ticket prices have also risen at different rates of inflation around the world, further complicating the process of adjusting worldwide grosses."
This chart only lists the domestic inflation
Sonic the Hedgehog is the most frequent franchise on the list with 3 films. SEGA is the most frequent publisher on the list with 3 films. The Super Mario Bros. Movie retains it's #1 spot
