After just two weeks in theaters, “A Minecraft Movie” has become the highest grossing Hollywood release of 2025, earning over $550 million globally. Despite mixed reviews from critics and audience scores, the film has resonated with audiences, particularly fans of big-budget video game adaptations. Directed by Jared Hess and starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, the $150 million co-production of Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment has helped boost box office revenues and reinvigorate theaters after a slow start to the year.
While other new releases like “The King of Kings,” an animated tale of Jesus’ life, and “The Amateur,” a revenge thriller starring Rami Malek, performed well over the weekend, they were overshadowed by the success of “A Minecraft Movie.” Additionally, “Warfare,” directed by Alex Garland, and “Drop,” a thriller from Blumhouse Productions, also debuted to decent numbers at the box office.
Overall, the success of “A Minecraft Movie” has had a ripple effect on the industry, with ticket sales doubling compared to the same weekend in 2024. The film’s ability to attract audiences and drive box office revenue has helped offset the decline in ticket sales that occurred earlier in the year. The film’s strong performance has also reignited interest in movie adaptations of popular video games and set a new standard for success in the industry.
