This year’s top-earning movie is the newly released film adaptation of the video game, , surpassing all other films at the worldwide box office.
This weekend, Minecraft contributed an additional $100 million to its global box office earnings, bringing its total earnings to a staggering $720.8 million. With such impressive numbers, it’s looking likely that Minecraft will be the first film of this year to reach the billion-dollar mark. The success of Minecraft and the recent release of Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, have given Warner Bros. a strong lead at the box office, with both their films currently holding the top spots for highest-grossing movies.
The movie has smashed multiple box office records, not just for its principal actors, but also for Jennifer Coolidge, Danielle Brooks, and director Jared Hess. While the critical reception of “A Minecraft Movie” is relatively low at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences seem to have a different opinion, as the film currently stands at an impressive 88% on the popcorn meter. The audience found “Minecraft” to be a delightful children’s movie, with Black’s portrayal of Steve and Momoa’s performance as Garrett “Garbage Man” Garrison being particularly praised.
A Sequel is Already in the Works
Following the incredible success of the Minecraft movie, it’s no wonder that talk of a sequel is already circulating. After an impressive opening weekend, Warner Bros executives Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy have confirmed plans for a second installment. They’ve even gone so far as to say that the sequel is on the verge of being greenlit, though the details may not be fully sorted out just yet. De Luca also credited the film’s marketing efforts for its triumph, expressing pride in the new approach and the team behind it, stating, “We’re incredibly proud of the performance of our fresh strategy and the individuals we championed. They handled Minecraft exceptionally well, and we’re genuinely excited about what lies ahead with this talented group.
I’m really looking forward to the sequel as there’s been some chatter about it. It promises to be an exhilarating experience to return to that world. The excitement among fans is palpable. We hinted at it in the closing credits, and it seems like they can’t wait for it!
A Minecraft Movie is now playing in theaters.
