SUNDAY UPDATE, Refresh for Latest…: Warner Bros/Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie has come in with an astounding $301M global opening. Of that, $144M is from the international box office. As we’ve noted throughout the weekend (see below), the film just continued to build, and has broken records in some offshore markets. Talk about a blocks-buster…

A Minecraft Movie Opens To Massive $301M Global Box Office

Warner Bros.‘ A Minecraft Movie, made with help from Legendary Pictures, struck gold with a record-shattering $157 million opening domestically and $144 million overseas for a global start of $301 million.

The film came in tens of millions ahead of expectations to score the top start ever for a video game adaptation, besting the $146.4 three-day launch of Universal Pictures’ The Super Mario Bros. Movie over Easter weekend in 2023. (Opening on a Wednesday, Mario Bros. earned $204 illion through Easter Sunday.)

And A Minecraft Movie easily boasts the top start of 2025 to date and, just as noteworthy, is the biggest domestic launch since Deadpool & Wolverine in July 2024 ($211 million). And Saturday’s gross of $60 million is the biggest in the history of Warners, not adjusted for inflation. Legendary put up 25 percent of the reported $150 million budget (that doesn’t include marketing costs).

'A Minecraft Movie' Strikes Box Office Gold With Record $157M Opening

Broke even in a single weekend.

David Zaslav is phoning up Epic and begging for that Fortnite movie.

One of Warner Bros biggest wins recently, they desperately needed it too.

Disney screwed up the casting. Should have cast Jack Black.

Not that the movie wasn't already a bomb but Minecraft has basically just finished it off, Lmao. If it was in a coffin, Steve just closed the door, nailed it shut and then covered it with cement, there's no kid that will care about Snow White right now with Minecraft Mania everywhere and the theatres being slammed by Minecraft fans, those cinemas will be spamming Minecraft shit too.

All I can think of when I see this is that Halo 2 scene of Chief giving the Covenant back their bomb.

Someone should edit Steve into that scene with the doubters and box office exploding around him.

Anyway, Minecraft (Movie) 2 is 100% happening.

I pretty much skip almost any film with Jack Black, can’t stand him as an actor.

leave my twin alone

mini medals can go fuck themselves, other than that great game

Or Samuel L Jackson
