Written by Dante Uzel on 15 April 2025 09:27
A Minecraft Movie continues to build a box office empire, hauling in an impressive $80.6 million in its second weekend. The live-action adaptation has now amassed $280 million in USA, with international markets contributing another $269.6 million, bringing its global total to a staggering $550 million.
This milestone vaults A Minecraft Movie into second place among the highest-grossing video game adaptations of all time, surpassing titles like Detective Pikachu, Uncharted, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Only The Super Mario Bros. Movie — Illumination’s 2023 animated juggernaut — stands above it, with a towering $1.3 billion global take.

With box office numbers rising and fan fervor reaching new heights, A Minecraft Movie has cemented itself as one of the most successful video game adaptations ever — pixel by pixel.
