wow, hard to believe a movie based on a VIDEO GAME would do that well! Sort of speaks to our current state; too many people want nothing to do with reality.
Dude, movies based on video games have been popular for decades. It's not new.
The FIRST Super Mario Brothers movie was made in 1993.
Then there was Mortal Kombat, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Doom, Lara Croft's Tomb Raider,
Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, Pokemon, Sonic, and many more I can't remember at the moment.
And all movies, other than documentaries, are a form of escapism.
It's hard for me to believe that the idea of movies based on video games is that shocking to someone.
Not shocked that there are movies based on video games, just that the number one movie is based on a video game :) (I haven't seen a single one of the video-game movies you listed, but then, I have only seen about 10 movies in a movie theater in the past 20 years)
