You make a point that fantasy has had most of its heavy hitters on the small screen for a while now, and with House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power coming later this year, that's not likely to change.

The Witcher was highly ranked as well. I think there's plenty of appetite for fantasy, there just haven't been any good movies released lately that had broad appeal.

The feature length movie format sucks for novelistic High Fantasy, and the nearly ten hour Lord of the zrings trilogy sort of proves that. Lord of the Rings would make a great 6 season TV show, in my opinion.

Lots of salient points about the lack of high-profile fantasy stories being made for film.

Another factor is the rise of streaming services, and the need to provide a steady diet of new content for those services. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Witcher, and the upcoming GoT and LOTR spin-offs, are being released that way. For what you might spend making a big-budget film (and maybe even less), you can get 8-12 hours of a streaming series. If it’s good, it encourages the audience to come back every week (where a movie only has a few weekends to make it’s money back). And you can get a second season a year later (movie sequels take about 3 years).

Fantasy also has long existed in sprawling series. And Game of Thrones certainly proved the value of fantasy TV shows, as a brand, as a money-maker, as a cultural touchstone. Doing Wheel of Time as a movie series, even if you were to condense the mid-series Slog, would be an impossibility. On television, it certainly becomes much more feasible.

Another factor that should be mentioned is that the pandemic essentially shuttered theaters for a year and continued to have a chilling effect even after they reopened.

There's at least one and maybe two D&D series in development too

The real D&D movie will always be "Mazes and Monsters" starring Tom Hanks.

It proves it in how it became a world-wide phenomenon, beloved by critics and layman alike?

It proves that done well, it breaks the format. It's a miniseries released.ib theaters. Abd hasn't been remotely imitated successfully on the big screen in 20 years.

I think it's a little reductive to call it 'a miniseries'. And no, nothing has come close on the big screen, but then that's arguably true for the small screen as well.

It's ten hours long. The story is more fit for a long form medium like TV, as are other fantasy novels.

Films as re more similar in structure to short stories, as can be seen in a review of the history of literary adaptations thst actuslly work.
