A Minecraft Movie Getting A Theatrical “Block Party” Edition Inviting Viewers To Basically Go Wild

As a hardcore Minecraft fan, I’ve heard tales about the rowdy screenings of the Minecraft Movie. Fans have been known to throw popcorn and even bounce around in their seats like crazy! In one instance, someone decided to bring a live chicken to a theater, joining the fun of the chicken jockey meme. Warner Bros. seems to be embracing this madness with open arms, introducing a “Block Party” edition of the movie that encourages viewers to let loose in theaters – can’t wait to see what happens!

Just as you recognize the iconic scenes, quotes, and tunes, it’s now time for some unbridled fun, hearty laughter, and passionate singing – showing off your top-notch fandom!” Warner Bros. announced in their press statement.

On this coming Friday, May 2nd, The Block Party Edition of a Minecraft Movie will screen in North America and certain international locations. Warner Bros. advises checking with your local cinema to verify if they are taking part. This seems to be a one-day event, which could make it all the more special.

In some instances, the excitement for a Minecraft film became so high that the police were summoned, leading certain cinemas to issue warnings to their audiences to remain composed. In response to the enthusiastic reaction towards the Minecraft movie, Director Jared Hess commented to Entertainment Weekly, “It’s peculiar when you’re having an excessive amount of fun and the cops are called.

The director chuckled at the thought that the police had to be called over an incident where people were merely cheering and tossing popcorn, finding it amusing. He expressed this by saying, “It’s absolutely hilarious! I’ve seen countless funny videos, and this one is no exception – especially when folks are standing on their friends’ shoulders, cheering wildly for those exciting moments.

The much-anticipated Minecraft film hit the big screens in early April and has since taken the world by storm, earning over $800 million worldwide. Remarkably, it continues to thrive, raking in an additional $22 million just in US cinemas during its fourth week of release.

Among video game films, a Minecraft Movie currently ranks second in box office earnings, surpassing Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s global earnings of $462.5 million. However, it appears unlikely to surpass The Super Mario Bros. Movie’s impressive worldwide total of $1.36 billion.

It’s not unexpected, but Warner Bros. officials have hinted at a follow-up for The Minecraft Movie being in development, although details are scarce at this stage. For additional information, refer to TopMob’s review of The Minecraft Movie.
