|content=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.

Though A Minecraft Movie still faces a steep climb to dethrone Mario at the worldwide box office, analysts suggest it could surpass its rival's domestic earnings if its current momentum holds.

Meanwhile, screenings have seen an unexpected surge of audience enthusiasm — and popcorn. Reports of rowdy fan celebrations have surfaced online, with some theaters experiencing what has been dubbed a "popcorn melee" during a specific fan-favorite scene. 

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.
