In a remarkable box office run, A Minecraft Movie, starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, is rapidly approaching the $300 million mark in North America, making it the first film of 2025 to reach the milestone. Despite mixed critical reception, the fantasy adventure comedy has remained a dominant force in cinemas since its release on April 4, thanks to strong audience turnout and minimal theatrical competition.
Strong Weekday Hold Fuels Success
After a powerful second weekend, the film has continued to perform well during the week. On its 13th day of release—Wednesday of its second week—the film brought in an estimated $5.45 million. This impressive midweek haul marks the third-highest second Wednesday ever for an April release, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($4.8 million) and trailing only Avengers: Endgame ($8.4 million) and Avengers: Infinity War ($7.1 million).
According to data from Box Office Mojo, the film’s North American total has now reached $296.79 million. With Thursday’s earnings yet to be added, industry analysts project that A Minecraft Movie will officially cross the $300 million threshold before the weekend—cementing its status as the top-performing domestic release of the year so far.
Global Box Office: Approaching the $600 Million Mark
The film’s momentum is not limited to the domestic market. Internationally, A Minecraft Movie has accumulated an additional $273.80 million, bringing its global total to $570.59 million. With consistent earnings from overseas territories, the movie is expected to cross the $600 million mark within days.
Should the current pace continue, the film could be on track to challenge the $1 billion milestone globally—an achievement that would solidify its place as a blockbuster juggernaut and set a new standard for video game adaptations.
About the Film
Directed by Jared Hess, A Minecraft Movie is based on the best-selling 2011 sandbox video game Minecraft, which has amassed a global fanbase of millions. The film blends fantasy, comedy, and family-friendly adventure, targeting both gamers and general audiences.
In addition to Momoa and Black, the ensemble cast includes Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge. The production reportedly carried a budget of $150 million, a figure that now looks modest in light of the film’s strong commercial performance.
