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.

Yeah lol like half my game library as a kid was adaptations of movies and shows.

I think the big turning point was The Incredibles 2 video games, which came out in 2005 based on the ending of the first film but the movie itself didn’t come out until 2018 and ended up being a completely different storyline.
