A Minecraft Movie has hit a major global milestone. The movie, which was directed by Jared Hess and stars Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge, is inspired by the popular titular video game. The Minecraft Movie release kicked off with a domestic debut of $162.7 million, which marked the best opening weekend for a video game movie in history, besting 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($146.4 million). In addition to debuting at No. 1, it held that position for two consecutive weeks before being buffeted down by Sinners in its third weekend.
Per Variety, as of Sunday morning, A Minecraft Movie is projected to close out its third weekend in theaters with a cumulative gross of $344 million at the domestic box office and $376.8 million from international markets. This brings the movie to a cumulative global haul of $720.8 million, making it the first Hollywood movie of 2025 to cross the huge $700 million milestone worldwide. At the time of writing, it is also the second highest-grossing movie of the year so far worldwide, behind the Chinese hit Ne Zha 2 ($1.898 billion).
