The game begins.

Summer of 1982. Sam Brenner and Will Cooper, childhood friends, await the grand opening of an arcade. Once it opens, Sam discovers he's remarkably good at several video games, despite being a novice in this kind of competition. Will encourages him to enter the arcade world video game championship being held that same day at the arcade. Directed by Chris Columbus, the film begins on an afternoon of youthful leisure, with eighties arcade machines as the backdrop and Sam as the central figure, a young man who doesn't yet know how far his talent can take him.

Trivia about Pixels

The most complex character to model was Q*bert, who interacted the most with humans, and whose head had to look round even though it was made of voxels.

Pixels was approved with a production budget of $135 million, but Doug Belgrad negotiated it down to $110 million.

Nintendo allowed the filmmakers to include a Mario cameo in their version of Donkey Kong, while the Super Mario Bros. scene was cut because they couldn't get it to work.

Q*bert already belonged to Sony Pictures by chance, because Columbia Pictures owned Gottlieb when the original game was developed.

For the Donkey Kong scene, a full physical set was built with all the platforms, while the actors worked suspended about 30 meters up in harnesses; Columbus described the shoot as especially demanding.

The Pac-Man sequence was shot over four weeks on real streets as an action scene with stunt performers, rather than being recreated entirely with digital effects.

Principal photography lasted three months in Toronto and included many night shoots and practical sets to represent New York and Washington.

The film grossed approximately $244.9 million worldwide, with $78.7 million in North America and $164.9 million in other territories.
