A MINECRAFT MOVIE Has Just Passed Another Global Box Office Milestone But Will It Reach A Billion?

Only one video game movie has ever passed the $1 billion mark at the global box office: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Can A Minecraft Movie join the same rarified air?

Warner Bros. Discovery's A Minecraft Movie continues to rack up box office accolades, even in its 6th week of release. Recently, the video game movie surpassed the $900 million global mark.

While this is an impressive milestone, industry analysts expect the film to fall short of the $1 billion mark, which will leave the film ranked as the second highest-grossing video game film of all-time behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.361 billion). Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a distant third, with $462.5 million worldwide.

In other Minecraft news, studios and theaters seem to be leaning into the chicken jockey madness by offering A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition! showings which invites the audience to yell out lines, sing songs and more.

About The Minecraft Movie:
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures and starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, “A Minecraft Movie,” directed by Jared Hess, is the first-ever big screen, live-action adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time.

The film also stars Emma Myers (“Wednesday”), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”), Sebastian Hansen (“Just Mercy, “Lisey’s Story”), with Jennifer Coolidge.

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Oscar nominee Hess (“Ninety-Five Senses,” “Nacho Libre”) directed from a screenplay by Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer and Neil Widener & Gavin James and Chris Galletta, story by Allison Schroeder and Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer, based on the Minecraft video game. Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Ólafsson and Vu Bui produced, and Todd Hallowell, Jay Ashenfelter, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza and Jon Spaihts executive produced.
