Warner Bros.' A Minecraft Movie has sprinted past the $500 million worldwide box office milestone. Directed by Jared Hess and starring Jack Black, this video game adaptation continues to dazzle audiences, inching closer to the coveted $1 billion mark. Its domestic total now stands at $278,864,857, while international viewers have contributed $273,800,000, pushing the worldwide total to $552,664,857 (via Box Office Mojo).
The success of A Minecraft Movie was uncertain until weeks before its release, when fans eagerly grabbed onto memorable lines from its trailers, especially those delivered by Jack Black's character, Steve. Phrases like "I... am Steve," "Flint and Steel," and "Chicken Jockey" have flooded social media. Despite a lukewarm critical reception—we rated it a 6/10—the film's meme-worthy status has significantly boosted its box office performance.
Beyond its financial success, A Minecraft Movie has sparked a frenzy among moviegoers. Since its opening weekend, the internet has been buzzing with videos of explosive reactions in theaters, with audiences screaming, throwing popcorn, and in one memorable instance, bringing a real-life chicken along for the experience. The fervor surrounding Mojang's beloved video game has grown so intense that Jack Black himself stepped in to help one theater prepare.
With its updated box office figures, A Minecraft Movie now surpasses other notable video game adaptations such as Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, and Uncharted. It's poised to continue climbing in the coming weeks. The only film it has yet to overtake is Nintendo and Illumination's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which concluded its theatrical run with over $1.36 billion worldwide (via Box Office Mojo).
Although A Minecraft Movie has a significant gap to close before surpassing the 2023 blockbuster starring Nintendo's mascot, it has already exceeded its opening weekend expectations. If this momentum holds, it won't be long before Minecraft claims the top spot among video game movie adaptations.
