Between 1995 and 2025, movies based on original screenplays earned more than 116 billion U.S. dollars at the so-called North American box office, which comprises Canada and the United States. This is almost as much as the second, third, fourth, fifth, and six-placed sources grossed altogether. Films based on games earned over 3.36 billion dollars within that period, surpassing play-based movies – which as of 2021 no longer made it to the top 10.
