Directed by Jared Hess and featuring an illustrious cast including Jason Momoa, Jack Black, and Danielle Brooks, this video game adaptation has garnered remarkable attention.
Opening with an impressive $162.7 million in its domestic debut weekend, A Minecraft Movie has set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend of 2025 to date. It has also eclipsed the previous record for video game adaptations, surpassing the 2023 benchmark set by The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which totaled $146.4 million.
Impressive Second Weekend Performance
According to Deadline, projections indicate that A Minecraft Movie is on track to earn over $80 million during its second weekend at the domestic box office. This marks a decline of approximately 48%, yet it places the film firmly at the top of the box office charts for the second consecutive weekend. The film outpaced its competition, which includes new releases like The King of Kings, Drop, The Amateur, and Warfare.
