Warner Bros.’ A Minecraft Movie has soared past the $500 million mark at the global box office.
Directed by Jared Hess and starring Jack Black, the video game adaptation delivered another explosive weekend in theaters, with audiences propelling it closer to the coveted $1 billion milestone. Its domestic earnings now total $278,864,857, with international markets contributing $273,800,000, for a global tally of $552,664,857 (via Box Office Mojo).
Uncertainty surrounded A Minecraft Movie’s theatrical performance until weeks before its debut, when fans seized on iconic lines from Black’s character, Steve, featured in trailers. Viral quotes like “I... am Steve,” “Flint and Steel,” and “Chicken Jockey” flooded social media. Though critics gave mixed reviews (we rated it 6/10), the film’s meme-driven popularity has undeniably fueled its box office triumph.
Beyond its financial success, A Minecraft Movie has sparked a cultural frenzy. Opening weekend saw fans turn theaters into chaotic celebrations, with videos capturing crowds screaming, tossing popcorn, and even bringing a live chicken to one screening. The fervor for Mojang’s beloved game adaptation grew so intense that Jack Black personally assisted one theater in managing the chaos.
With updated figures, A Minecraft Movie now outranks several video game adaptations, including Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, and Uncharted, with its earnings poised to climb further. Only Nintendo and Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed over $1.36 billion worldwide (via Box Office Mojo), remains ahead.
While surpassing the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie remains a challenge, A Minecraft Movie has already eclipsed its opening weekend performance. If its momentum holds, it could soon claim the top spot among video game films.
