"Fallout" Season 2 debuts on Prime Video this Wednesday, December 17, and with it comes 2025's final chance to live up to the long-promised "big moment for video game adaptations." That's a lot of pressure to put on series star Ella Purnell, but someone has to do something at a time when the Warner Bros. fire sale is throwing Hollywood into a tailspin - and collaboration with the roughly $188 billion games industry feels more urgent and essential than ever before.

After two decades of comic book movies dominating the box office, it looks like video game adaptations are the next big thing in Hollywood--and for Prime Big Deal Days, several of these movies and TV series are on sale at Amazon. The deals include recent releases like A Minecraft Movie and classics like the Angelina Jolie-starring Tomb Raider flicks. We've rounded up even more deals below.

The Cabin in the Woods meets Groundhog Day, a parade of horrors where each fresh night brings something new and terrible. Sandberg remains an excellent director of horror.

The Detective Pikachu Limited Edition Steelbook is currently on sale for $28, matching its all-time low price, down from a previous high of $42.49.

Chris Pratt's voice in the Mario film felt underwhelming compared to his co-stars, leading to a perception of lazy casting aimed at star power rather than authenticity.

Druckmann emphasizes his support for a Crash Bandicoot movie, but noted that Naughty Dog does not own the franchise and Microsoft would need to approve it.

Zelda fans can save big on the awesome official manga adaptations of some of Link's most memorable adventures.

Fallout found success by adapting the world, not a specific story. This strategy paid off with acclaim for Season 1 and an early renewal for Season 2.
