The ‘Minecraft’ film, on its premiere day, has set a new record for the highest-grossing debut of any video game movie with an impressive $58 million revenue.
2025 saw the film achieve the highest first-day box office earnings yet, outperforming ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ with a whopping $40.9 million.
The film had a strong debut, surpassing expectations set at approximately $70-$80 million for the first weekend. However, new predictions suggest it’ll earn double that amount, reaching over $150 million.
The latest prediction positions the film as a strong contender to exceed the record for the highest three-day box office debut ever for a video game adaptation, currently held by ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ at approximately $146 million. However, it is important to mention that ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ was released on a Wednesday and had already earned $58 million prior to the weekend.
The movie features actors such as Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge.
It’s predicted that ‘The Minecraft Movie‘, given its hefty $150 million production cost combined with marketing and distribution expenses, is expected to yield profits in its initial week.
The box office success of the Minecraft movie might catch some people off guard, especially those who are well-versed in the game. However, many critics of its trailers aside, Minecraft is undeniably one of the most popular video games, so it’s not shocking that it found success.
Since its debut in 2011, this video game has been purchased by more than 300 million people across the globe. Its remarkable popularity caught the attention of Microsoft, who eventually bought Minecraft’s creators, Mojang, for a staggering $2.5 billion back in 2014.
