The Minecraft Movie has shattered box office records, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie to claim the title of the biggest domestic debut for a video game adaptation ever. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the latter also featured in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the film raked in an impressive $157 million in North American theaters alone. The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which opened with $146 million domestically in April 2023, still holds the record as the highest-grossing video game adaptation to date.
Internationally, A Minecraft Movie added another $144 million, pushing its global opening weekend total to a staggering $301 million. With a production budget of $150 million, excluding marketing costs, the film is already poised to be profitable for Warner Bros.
A Minecraft Movie draws its inspiration from Mojang's Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time. Owned by Microsoft, this sandbox game continues to captivate audiences worldwide and now includes movie tie-in DLC to enhance the film's launch.
IGN's review of A Minecraft Movie scored it a 6/10, noting that "Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess infuses A Minecraft Movie with a uniquely humorous and engaging comic flair, particularly in the film's more subdued first half."
