Jason Momoa Pens Sweet Tribute To A Minecraft Movie’s Cast And Crew As The Film Crushes At The Box Office

by

For much of this year, the domestic box office has been relatively quiet. But things took an exciting turn over the weekend with the premiere of “A Minecraft Movie“, which proved to be a massive hit both in the U.S. and abroad, generating substantial revenue. This impressive performance represents a significant triumph not only for Warner Bros. Pictures but also for the film’s cast and crew. One of its stars, Jason Momoa, was particularly thrilled by this success and shared his excitement through a heartfelt message.

Jason Momoa has definitely had movies hit big at theaters over the years, but he doesn’t seem jaded by this latest win at all. The A-lister took to Instagram to share a carousel of snapshots from a photoshoot that he and his co-stars participated in. That list of actors includes Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers and Sebastian Hansen. As for his caption, Momoa had nothing but praise to shower on his collaborators, including director Jared Hess, while celebrating their big achievement:

To my fantastic team, I send you warm Aloha! Thank you so much for your tireless efforts and dedication. We’ve achieved something extraordinary – a record-breaking film! Wooooohooo!! I couldn’t be prouder of this project. New Zealand, thank you for our exceptional crew and their unwavering hard work. Love to you, Jared Hess! Don’t miss out on [A Minecraft Movie] if you haven’t already seen it yet!

The “See” alum frequently expresses affection for his colleagues on social media platforms. This was evident when he started working on the film “The Wrecking Crew” alongside Dave Bautista. His appreciation for others isn’t limited to filmmakers and actors; it extends broadly as well. Earlier this year, he even acknowledged the efforts of first responders battling wildfires in LA. In summary, he is not shy about acknowledging others when they deserve recognition, and I admire that trait.

I’m thrilled to be associated with Jason Momoa‘s upcoming movie release in 2025. Overwhelmingly successful, it grossed an astounding $163 million within its domestic opening weekend alone! Add that to its international earnings, and it notched up a staggering worldwide total of $313 million. With numbers like these, it’s clear the film is making a powerful impact in cinemas, even though opinions among fans and critics seem split on the movie.

Despite the positive response, these screenings have sparked some debate due to incidents where cinema-goers, particularly younger ones, have become quite rowdy. Footage from these events shows them shouting, tossing popcorn, and exhibiting other excited behavior during certain parts of the movie. A particularly energizing moment for fans is the appearance of the “chicken jockey” (a term familiar to many). However, the unruly behavior has led Fareham’s Reel Cinema in the U.K. to caution spectators about participating in TikTok trends.

It’s likely that many viewers will return to their local cinemas to enjoy the chaos presented by Jared Hess’ latest film. Simultaneously, Jason Momoa and his fellow cast members can bask in the continued success of their movie. I wonder if Momoa might post another message when (or if) the movie reaches another box office achievement.

Don’t miss the big screen debut of “Minecraft: The Movie” now playing in cinemas near you! Additionally, keep an eye out for the list of exciting video game adaptations that are lined up for release soon.
