The Jack Black-led video game adaptation has taken the top spot from Marvel Studios in the 2025 box office competition.

SUNDAY UPDATE: Warner Bros / Legendary ’s A Minecraft Movie has come in with an astounding $301M global opening. Of that, $144.1M is from the international box office. As we’ve noted throughout the weekend (see below), the film just continued to build, and has broken records in some offshore markets. Talk about a blocks-buster.

Goldstein is optimistic that “Minecraft” will help turn the box office tides. Fortunes have already begun to shift. Prior to this weekend, box office revenues were nearly 11% behind last year and 40% behind 2019, according to Comscore. Now the gap has shrunk to 5.3% behind 2024 and 35% behind 2019.
