Warner Bros.' A Minecraft Movie has surged past the $500 million mark at the global box office.
Directed by Jared Hess and featuring Jack Black as the star, this video game adaptation has continued to impress with its performance over its second weekend in theaters. The film is inching closer to the coveted $1 billion milestone, with a domestic total of $278,864,857 and an international haul of $273,800,000, culminating in a worldwide total of $552,664,857 (via Box Office Mojo).
The performance of A Minecraft Movie was uncertain until just before its release, when fans eagerly embraced certain lines delivered by Jack Black's character, Steve, featured in the trailers. Phrases like "I... am Steve," "Flint and Steel," and "Chicken Jockey" have dominated social media. Despite receiving mixed reviews, with a score of 6/10 from critics, the movie's viral meme status has significantly contributed to its box office triumph.
The film's theatrical run has been nothing short of groundbreaking, with audiences turning into fervent fans during its opening weekend. The internet is now buzzing with videos of enthusiastic theater reactions, showcasing audiences screaming, throwing popcorn, and in one memorable instance, bringing a real-life chicken to the screening. The fervor for this adaptation of Mojang's popular video game has escalated to the point where Jack Black himself stepped in to help prepare one theater for the excitement.
The latest box office figures for A Minecraft Movie have propelled it ahead of other successful video game adaptations such as Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, and Uncharted, with its numbers expected to grow further in the coming weeks. The only video game movie that still surpasses it is Nintendo and Illumination's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which concluded with a global total of over $1.36 billion (via Box Office Mojo).Although A Minecraft Movie has a long way to go to overtake the record set by the 2023 release of the Super Mario Bros. film, it has already exceeded its opening weekend figures. If the current momentum persists, it may soon claim the top spot among video game movie adaptations.
