The Minecraft Movie Is Now The No. 2 Highest-Grossing Video Game Film Of All Time

The box office success of “A Minecraft Movie” continued unabated in its second week, raking in $80.6 million. This boosts the film’s domestic earnings to a whopping $280 million. Added to its current international earnings of $269.6 million, the movie has now grossed an impressive $550 million globally.

Intriguingly, it has been noted that some movie screenings have turned into popcorn brawls. Although many theater chains remain silent about their cinemas being overwhelmed with this snack during a specific scene, Regal Movies is urging its audience to let loose for an exceptional showing of Chicken Jockey on April 20th.

From a fan’s perspective, I’d say that, as of now, the anticipated Minecraft movie holds the runner-up position in the realm of highest-grossing video game adaptations on the silver screen. It’s currently playing catch-up with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which remains at the top. This leap from ninth to second position has had a ripple effect, nudging other video game adaptations such as Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Detective Pikachu, and Uncharted down the line-up a bit.

The computer-animated Mario film produced by Illumination earned an impressive $1.3 billion globally, and although a Minecraft Movie has some ground to cover before dethroning Nintendo’s plumber, it could potentially surpass the domestic box office earnings of its competitor (based on Box Office Mojo statistics).

The movie has been well-liked since it was released in theaters, with our review of “A Minecraft Movie” giving it a 7 out of 10. There are plans to create a follow-up film featuring a new character. Preorders for the home video release are now available, and you can find more information about pricing and special editions in TopMob’s preorder guide for “A Minecraft Movie” home video release.
