I mean you could say that about every big budget live-action movie ever. Those aren't problems. That just means they have to make it good lol. A great live-action Zelda movie would absolutely kill at the box office and would set them up to use the same actors for a couple more Zelda sequel movies. Mario movie cost 100 million. Sure Zelda live-action might cost 200 or 250 million. But Mario movie is going to soar over a billion. A great Zelda live-action movie would definitely have a great shot at 1 billion as well. So being more expensive than an animated movie isn't an issue. As with any movie, you need to make it good and appeal to a wide audience. And given how popular fantasy live-action movies are these days Zelda not breaking even would not be a worry. |
You gotta keep in mind that after this film the highest grossing video game films have only ever reached 400m. A brand as massive as Mario combined with Illumination's expertise at making animated films loads of people wanna watch made this happen. A high quality live action Zelda film could do well but a billion would be unlikely regardless of how good it is since the average person is much more likely to know who characters like Mario and Bowser are than Link and Ganon.
