A Minecraft Movie 2 gets a release date, but faces stiff competition at the box office

by

Warner Bros. has scheduled a sequel to the Minecraft Movie, but it will face strong competition from other films when it’s released internationally.

Following the huge success of “A Minecraft Movie” – which earned $957 billion and became the second-highest-grossing film of 2025 – it was only natural that Warner Bros. would start planning more adventures in the Minecraft universe. The film was a massive hit, but narrowly missed the top spot, as the animated Chinese film “Ne Zha 2” earned slightly more with over $2 billion.

The movie became a huge hit when a scene featuring the ‘Chicken Jockey’ went viral online, even causing disruptions during showings. Now, Warner Bros. is hoping the upcoming ‘Minecraft Movie 2’, scheduled for release on July 23, 2027, can create the same buzz.

However, that might be difficult since another major movie is also set for release on the same day.

Minecraft Movie 2 will have to fight The Simpsons Movie 2

July 2027 is shaping up to be a huge month for movies, as Disney and 20th Century Studios have scheduled the sequel to *The Simpsons Movie* for the same date as another highly anticipated release. This creates a similar situation to last year’s ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon, giving moviegoers a big choice of what to see.

Whether people online call it “Simecraft” or “The Minesons,” both movie studios are likely thrilled about the potential for massive profits from these upcoming sequel releases.

Whether these movies succeed will likely come down to who watches them. Longtime fans will probably prefer *The Simpsons*, while younger audiences are more likely to enjoy *A Minecraft Movie 2* and its meme-filled humor. However, effective marketing could definitely influence which film does better.

There’s always a chance the studios could change their movie release dates to avoid competing with each other in theaters, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
