The gamble by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment on the Minecraft Movie has proven to be a successful one. After over a decade of development, the movie had an impressive debut, earning approximately $58 million USD at North American box offices from its opening day and previews. The film’s opening day earnings in 2025 surpassed those of Captain America: Brave New World, with a staggering $40.9 million USD, making it the highest-grossing opening of the year. Since 2024, the Minecraft film has recorded the largest box office opening since the release of Deadpool & Wolverine.
The upcoming “Minecraft” movie is expected to rake in more than expected at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, potentially surpassing $70-$80 million USD. This would be the North American market’s biggest box office hit since last November’s release of “Moana 2”. If predictions hold true, “A Minecraft Movie” will outperform “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”, which earned $146 million USD, and secure the record for the largest three-day opening for a video game film. Given that it has already gathered $58 million USD before the weekend, prospects are optimistic for the film featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa.
As a die-hard fan, I’m absolutely thrilled about the blockbuster success of “A Minecraft Movie”! This film had an impressive production budget of $150 million USD, not to mention marketing and distribution costs. Despite these significant expenses, it earned a B+ rating on Cinema Score and is already poised to be the second-highest-grossing domestic release of the year after just one weekend.
Joining Steve, Alex, and the rest of the Minecraft crew are some incredible talents like Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge. This film is currently reigning supreme at the box office, dethroning Disney’s “Snow White” (which landed in fourth place) and Universal’s “The Woman in the Yard” (in fifth). Even Jason Statham’s Amazon MGM thriller, “A Working Man,” couldn’t keep up with “A Minecraft Movie,” finishing behind it in second.
While we’re celebrating its domestic success, we’ll have to wait and see how “A Minecraft Movie” performs internationally to fully grasp its overall impact. It’s an exciting time for Minecraft fans everywhere!
