Yes it's a bigger industry but it's not a trillion dollar industry.
And we're talking about video game adaptations for movies and TV shows. The genre is still predominantly a high risk one and only started making inroads in profitability and/or success from 2022.

Video game adaptations were largely known as ultimate flops for decades. To the point of the industry coining a phenomenon for it — " the Videogame Curse".

Still, even the positives in the last year, it's nowhere near CBMs.

YOu're right, although I meant to say games in general.
The bolded made me remember the Live Adaptation of Death Note
But what do you think will be the hardest video game to adapt

The album was in my Spotify wrap for last year lol. My lullaby even till this day. So so good.


But Hans Zimmer na still their father lol. I have this Hans Zimmer "Live in Prague" concert that he played out his all timer scores, from "The Lion king score" to the Gladiator score to the Rain Man score to the interstellar score. 4 hours of sublime goodness 😩😩.

Hans is so so versatile, this man can score even a "rom com" 😩.

It was the album that prompted me to listen to almost every John Williams, Ramin Djawadi & Zimmer scores on Spotify.
But in my opinion, John Williams is still the best of all times. The 'Hedwig's THeme + The Jurassic Park + E.T is just too awesome to ignore

"The thing isn't can you read music, it is can you hear it."
"Can you hear the Music, Robert?"

As a lover of film music, I must say the Oppenheimer score might possibly be the best piece of film music i have heard in a long while without any shadow of doubt 😩.

Every note, every key totally in sync with the particular scene, like the score is so so"deliberate" that hearing the score, you can "hear" the particular scene it was "played", naaah Ludwig Göransson made magic with this.

I saw clips of the Live orchestra of the Score with the actual movie playing in the background and i am like damn, White people really do know how to enjoy themselves 😩😩.

Good luck to any film music/score trying to compete with it this award season 🙏🏿.

A timeless....timeless piece of film music...Up there with the greats 🌱

This song has 200 million streams already, I've listened to the album like a million times- everyday
If Dune came out last year, Hans Zimmer could be a contender

abduleez1:


Uhm BARBIE is definitely winning Best Original Song and that's a serious category.

You're definitely a Barbie ass grabber😂. Original Song is not a serious award bro, Just a 3 minutes song in a 2 hours movie can't be taken to seriously compared to Score or the Big'uns like director and the rest

oyaskii:
Yes, the true story as bizarre as it sounds would had definitely made a better movie.

I don't know if you followed the Golden Globe? I feel that is a true reflection of how the Oscars is going to go..."Oppie" will sweep the main categories, while the other movies will fight it out for the scraps. Best actor, Best Picture, Best Director, Best score, Best sound editing is totally off the table for other movies imo...Oppie is far too strong and clearly in the lead in those categories.

I won't be surprised if Barbie doesn't win anything. Heard Oppie will fight it out for Score 😂😂😂 against who?? Boy and the Heron? 😂. I just recently watched the Oppenheimer Opera Concert and being a fan of opera, I can genuinely say it's the hardest form of music to be played, any simple mistake can cost the entire performance worthless

Chibudollar:
Theirs something about Honorary awards. It just feels like "oya take you don try award"

Exactly😂😂, esp Angela Bassett, as she bone face for that Oscars, dey no like am

abduleez1:
We've not had a year like 2019 in recent times.
Both critically, quantity and quality of top films as well as great to massive box office.

2019 had a total domestic gross of $11bn. Hollywood ain't achieved that since the pandemic.

A perfect example of an overblown balloon and a massive burst.

abduleez1:


Lol, no even mention Barry Keoghan near this guy. That performance na Best Actor and no be mates with this gee at all!! Even Jacob Elordi gave a more believable performance as supporting actor than the over hyped Charles Melton. Many don't want to say it but all I see making this Charles Melton stuff be an overblown issue is cos he's Asian and there's hardly any Asian representation in the SAG Awards with PAST LIVES getting ignored also. It's just politically motivated.

How you take watch The Iron Claw?? 🧐🧐

Exactly 😂, that's the reason why I trust the SAG than the Oscars.
I'm not in Nigeria, watched it in cinemas

Lmao
What's adventurous in Minecraft

Looks like you did not even play for ten minutes, Minecraft is a perfect adventure game- there are still more than 50 million players playing even now

abduleez1:
Fans of this film dey fight for Twitter throughout yesterday.

I no really see anything wey any of that cast act to be this mad.

Wetin fans of Saltburn and Anatomy of a Fall wan dey do if na the reactions all this once dey cry since cos of dem ignore Charles Melton. I no see wetin him perform wey dey award worthy.

Oyaskii, how you reason this matter since you follow this season wella??

I don't even know the acting the Melton guy even did compared to Jeremy Allen White in Iron Claw😪an overbl0wn performance to me. Barry keoghan did a better job than Charles to me

iamoyindamola:

WTF
Minecraft fvcking hate that game

Fr My best game of all times. I understand why you don't like it tho, adventure games and RPG is not for everyone

abduleez1:
Won't be long before some filmmakers now starts crying & b!tching AGAIN when videogame adaptations now become mainstream and the tentpoles of traditional studios.
Can't wait to see it...... thIS iS nOt cinEMa. 😂😂😂

A24 slowly beaten to join the big boys in producing more conventional stuff.

They've sucked the life out of book adaptations, video games adaptations will be more successful than book adaptations since they're already a trillion dollar industry.
I'm totally sure there'll be a Minecraft movie and a God of War movie coming soon

Softbreastt:
Society of the Snow 8.5

Tbf, it's a good premise but in my opinion, the story wasn't utilised to its full potential. It was so Bland for a survival movie

3 Body Problem- this is the first SciFi novel I ever completed and my best novel of all times
David and Weiss have been very brilliant in adapting books for shows so I have completed trust in them plus it looks so good

Please let the producers recoup their investment first na. Haba. The movie is not up to a month old. Since you don't want to pay to watch, the decent thing will be to allow those who spent millions recoup their money before we proceed to pirate their hard work.

Let us learn to do the right thing.

Tbf, I don't blame Nigerians not going to cinemas. One- there aren't a lot of cinemas, you'ld sometimes have to travel long distances just to watch a movie that you may not even be comfortable watching because sometimes it's noisy, stinky and stuffy, why stress yourself doing stressful stuff when you could just watch the same movie in the comfort of your home illegal or not.
It was when I got out of the country I realised pirating movies was a big deal- most Nigerians don't even know that. Can't imagine i'ld love movies if not for our beloved pirates

Naijaspiderman:



My groups on telegram don't have it yet. Can you recommend one for me?

Any group that posts the movie gets banned except you're using movie bots

Michelsmith12:
I'm watching star wars. My favorite movie is Star Wars The Force Awakens. It was the greatest part of star wars for me because of Harrison Ford. I liked his acting and character very much. Moreover, I was amazed by the Dark lightsabers used by the characters. This is what makes this movie more exciting and phenomenal.

The Last good Star Wars Movie

joseph1832:
I'll wait till the Blue Ray version is out.

It is out already

Most well deserved award

Baddestguyp:


Lol, the post I shared was not just for you...I simply recall it whenever your clique starts it's nonsense
Why is it paining you?

Go and cry to the others who called you out...not to me.


Lmao...
You created an entire collage just for me. You combined screenshots, edited and even selected the grid format to use just for me...

All that hard work for someone online...I obviously live rent free in your head...



I won't be surprised if you're the same person who went on Twitter to call me out on a random post. Oh...yes I recall now...

Till date, I'm yet to find this person. But with the way in living rent free in your head, I suspect it's you

You better confess now

You don dey popular too much

abduleez1:
Which time I wan join this show bayi!!
Omo, E choke. 😩😩

The first season and 2nd was pretty good. 3rd season was so ad, i dropped ever watching it

Davidcorny:
Personally i dont mind gays, more women for the rest of us, the thing is people are born different, I'd rest easy knowing my neighbor is gay than knowing he is a serial killer or a criminal.

Or rather a paedophile, the fact that Nigerians are shocked by gays in par with paedophilia is funny to me

Bintdawood:
Carry am go therapy

To remove the gayness from him??🤦🏿‍♂️

Saviola86:
Live and let others live

One thing about we blacks is that we try to enforce our lives on others.

Homosexuality is disgusting but one thing I detest about we Africans is how we project to cos harm to them because they have a different orientations like us.

We can liken this saddistic behavior to how the whites saw blacks as abnormal and sub-humans that shouldn’t live

I know some people will come and say they are two different scenarios but that’s how you see it and not how the victims see it

Some hediots will come to call me homo and gay But it’s your business and you are invited to my wedding

Reverse psychology at its saddest. Unfortunately, black folks are still in the 1800s

Davidcorny:
There are worse things he could be.

It's not bad just because this close minded society says it is

Some Nairalanders are so daft tbh, I see no problem with him being gay, he's an adult, he didn't choose this, although I don't think anyone is born gay, his childhood is a big prompter of his actions. He should live his life as he sees fit without you or any of his family members
You should be more worried about what the society as close minded as Nigeria is will affect him not just because he's gay

AHCB:

I haven't gone past 20 mins in this movie.

I started Watching it before I started watching Silent Night and Thanksgiving. Done with both, still not inspired to watch it though.

You should continue, the story hasn't started yet at allll💀💀💀

Ishilove:

What's with all the gore in movies these days?

I don't think there has been an increase of gory movies. Thanksgiving is an R-rated horror movie- so gory is a part of it

Blue Eye Samurai - 9.5/10

You guys aren't talking about this series enough. This is my best series of this year already and would have been my best of last year. The story's just too good and this animation shows full frontal 💀
