Get ready to use your pickaxe! The exciting movie adaptation of “Minecraft,” a well-known sandbox video game, will be premiering in cinemas this weekend.
The family-friendly movie adaptation of the video game created by Warner Bros. and Legendary, titled “A Minecraft Movie”, has already earned $10.55 million during its Thursday previews. It’s predicted that this film could generate between $70 million to $80 million during its opening weekend, with some experts even estimating up to $90 million. However, Warner Bros. is being cautious and anticipates a lower figure of $65 million for the opening weekend. Internationally, it’s expected to bring in at least $65 million, making a worldwide opening of between $135 million to $150 million. With a production budget of $150 million and additional marketing costs, “A Minecraft Movie” seems poised for box office success following recent disappointments like “The Alto Knights” and “Mickey 17.
As a passionate cinephile, I’ve noticed that video game adaptations on the silver screen have had their fair share of successes and failures at the box office. The “Super Mario Bros. Movie” of 2023 stands out as a triumph, raking in an impressive $1.3 billion globally. On the flip side, last year’s “Borderlands” film fell flat with only $33 million earnings worldwide. Though some critics weren’t kind to it, “Minecraft” seems poised for a middle ground between the mediocre performance of “Five Night’s at Freddy’s” (which made a modest $10.3 million in previews) and the promising start “Super Mario” had with $26.5 million in previews.
Featuring Jack Black, Jason Momoa, and Emma Myers from “Wednesday,” the movie titled “A Minecraft Movie” immerses audiences into the Overworld, a pixelated universe within the popular video game where players can construct their creativity’s limitless possibilities. As characters from our world mysteriously find themselves transported into this virtual realm, they must quickly adapt to using the Minecraft abilities and vanquish in-game adversaries such as creepers, piglins, and zombies to make it back home. Alongside them are Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Sebastian Hansen, and Rachel House.
