Jason Momoa Has A Message For The Fans After A Minecraft Movie Absolutely Wrecked At The Box Office

by

Speaking candidly about how video game adaptations often disappoint, it’s clear that we’re in a new era where these screen versions can genuinely captivate audiences. This is evident with the box office triumph of The Minecraft Movie, which, despite mixed critical opinions, has reigned since its release as part of the 2025 films on April 4. Lead actor Jason Momoa has now extended a heartfelt message to fans in celebration of the film’s success.

What Did Jason Momoa Say To A Minecraft Movie’s Fans After Its Success?

Despite pouring their passion and creativity into it, the team behind a movie might find that it fails to resonate with audiences or become successful, but this isn’t the case for A Minecraft Movie. Critics have labeled it as “stupid,” but this doesn’t seem to be a negative aspect, as enthusiasts of the franchise seem to embrace this kind of silliness. With Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and Danielle Brooks (along with others) leading the cast, the film has already grossed over $552 million globally, suggesting that it could soon join the ranks of the top video game movies.

Momoa (who previously sent a sweet tribute to Minecraft’s cast and crew) took to Instagram to share his thanks for the film’s massive success. Here’s what the erstwhile Aquaman had to say:

On this cinematic adventure, I am incredibly humbled by your unwavering love and support for Minecraft. To our dedicated fans, thank you for joining us on this journey and making this film a resounding success. A heartfelt thank you to my talented crew in New Zealand who breathed life into the magic, and to the visionary producers who painstakingly constructed this dream, brick by digital brick. I am beyond grateful for your trust and hard work.

As a movie enthusiast, I can attest that when an actor accepts a role, regardless of how much they adore their character or the project as a whole, it’s always uncertain how the final product will unfold. The stars of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, including Lobo himself who just finished filming, faced an extra hurdle since they were working on a story based on a video game that blends live-action and animated characters in a rather unconventional way.

The game “Minecraft” has been a massive success for over a decade, and audiences who are witnessing its big-screen adaptation have been vocalizing their theater experiences as key scenes unfold. Generally speaking, these screenings appear to be quite lively, with one spectator even introducing a genuine chicken in tribute to the “Chicken Jockey” scene, others being ejected for donning Creeper masks, adolescents being reprimanded, and one cinema informing patrons that unruly behavior would prompt them to summon law enforcement.

At a movie screening, people having such a great time that the authorities had to intervene due to their disruptive behavior isn’t ideal, but it does indicate that the audience is certainly engaged with what they’re watching. This demonstrates just how unpredictable it can be when turning a video game into a movie. Truly, the lead actor and the rest of the cast and crew have constructed this dream piece by piece, haven’t they?
