'A Minecraft Movie' surpasses $700 million at the global box office

The block-building phenomenon has officially conquered the big screen.

Minecraft, Warner Bros.’ PG-rated animated blockbuster, has now raked in a staggering $720.8 million worldwide, after just three weekends in cinemas.

Powered by the voice talents of Jack Black and Jason Momoa, the film surged an additional $100 million over the Easter weekend alone, with international audiences contributing $59 million to that haul.

With $376.2 million earned from overseas sales alone, Minecraft is not only dominating ticket counters but setting the gold standard for video game adaptations.

The film now holds the title of the highest-grossing Hollywood release of the year so far, and at its current breakneck pace, is expected to become the first film of 2025 to cross the $1 billion mark.

Its monumental success reaffirms the staying power of the Minecraft brand, proving that pixelated worlds and digital adventures still have massive cinematic appeal more than a decade after the game's original release.

With school holidays and family audiences still fuelling the hype, the only question left is: will Minecraft become the year’s biggest box office hit overall?
