A Minecraft Movie is continuing to build serious momentum at the box office. After just one week in theaters, the film has already hit three major milestones, including surpassing Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s domestic run. It has reached $200 million domestically, $350 million globally, and is now the third-highest-grossing video game adaptation in U.S. box office history. If projections hold, the movie is expected to overtake Sonic the Hedgehog 3 this weekend, claiming the number two spot on the all-time domestic video game movie list—trailing only The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Directed by Jared Hess, best known for Napoleon Dynamite, A Minecraft Movie stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa and debuted with a massive $163 million opening weekend—higher than the openings of both The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Barbie. In just one week, it has become the second-biggest film of 2025 both domestically and worldwide, trailing only Captain America: Brave New World. That gap is expected to close quickly, as Minecraft is on pace to take the lead by the end of this weekend.
This box office surge comes at a crucial time for Warner Bros., which had been facing setbacks after the underperformance of Mickey 17 and The Alto Knights. A Minecraft Movie has given the studio a much-needed win and is clearly resonating with audiences—especially younger viewers. Despite a 48% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is an impressive 88%. Videos of excited fans, many of them kids, reacting to the film in theaters have gone viral, echoing the kind of enthusiastic response that helped films like Five Nights at Freddy’s succeed.
With another $70 million expected this weekend, the movie’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Whether it can reach the towering $1.3 billion global total of The Super Mario Bros. Movie remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Minecraft has already carved out a huge win for video game adaptations—and a new high score for Warner Bros.
