A Minecraft Movie Smashes Box Office Records with $301 Million Opening Weekend
Warner Bros. and Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie has set a new record at the box office, earning an impressive $301 million in its opening weekend.
The film, which combines live-action and CGI elements, brought in $157 million in the United States and an astounding $144 million internationally.
This achievement solidifies A Minecraft Movie as the most successful video game-to-film adaptation in terms of opening weekend revenue in the U.S., surpassing the previous record held by the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
With a reported budget of $150 million, A Minecraft Movie has already more than doubled its production costs, making it a major success.
Industry analysts predict that the Minecraft-inspired film will outperform upcoming releases such as Sonic 2 and 3, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and even Nintendo’s Detective Pikachu, although it has yet to surpass the lifetime ticket sales of the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
A Minecraft Movie made its worldwide debut exclusively in theaters on April 4th, 2025.
