Warner Bros.’ live-action adaptation of the beloved video game, A Minecraft Movie, maintained its stronghold on the box office, earning $80.6 million in its second weekend. This brings its domestic total to $281 million and global earnings to $550.6 million, solidifying its position as the highest-grossing film of 2025 so far.
Despite a 50% drop from its record-setting $162.8 million opening weekend, the film’s performance remains robust, especially considering the typical second-weekend declines for blockbuster releases. The movie’s success is attributed to its appeal among younger audiences and fans of the original game, with 64% of the opening weekend audience under the age of 25.
Directed by Jared Hess and starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, A Minecraft Movie has surpassed Captain America: Brave New World to become the top-grossing domestic release of the year. The film’s global success also places it as the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, trailing only 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
The film’s popularity has been bolstered by enthusiastic fan reactions, including viral moments centered around iconic in-game references like the “Chicken Jockey.” These cultural touchpoints have contributed to the movie’s widespread appeal and sustained box office performance.
With its impressive earnings and strong audience reception, A Minecraft Movie has not only revitalized the box office but also set the stage for potential sequels, as discussions about expanding the franchise are already underway.
