There are plenty of spin offs and tie ins but not adaptations (save for Lego) for some reason. Obviously this isn't the case for the reverse.

The stories are too complicated in today's games to make any kind of cohesive and even vaguely complete 2-3 hour story out of them. That why such adaptations are not one-off movies, but complete seasons of shows appearing on streaming services.
