The plot details are unclear. Sega's OutRun series is a franchise that comes from some of the most successful arcade games in the world in the 1980s. The game started a new genre of racing games and spawned a subgenre of electronic music aptly named "OutRun".
The unique combination made it a global hit. Since then, many installments have been released, including versions for home consoles, and it continues to be one of Sega's flagship franchises.
OutRun is expected to follow "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Five Nights at Freddy's," which grossed $1.4 billion and $290 million worldwide, respectively.
Recall
In September 2024, Warner Bros. Pictures released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming "Minecraft" movie, which became the first "live" adaptation of one of the best-selling games of all time.
