After just two weeks in theaters, “A Minecraft Movie” has become the highest-grossing Hollywood release of 2025. The Warner Bros. video game adaptation has already surpassed $550 million in global ticket sales, following a second weekend of $80.6 million in the U.S. and Canada. Despite mixed reviews from critics and audience members, the film directed by Jared Hess and starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa has resonated with audiences who have flocked to see big-budget videogame adaptations.
The success of “A Minecraft Movie” has helped boost box office revenues, with overall ticket sales doubling compared to the same weekend in 2024. Other new releases such as “The King of Kings,” an animated film about Jesus’ life, and “The Amateur,” starring Rami Malek as a CIA cryptographer, performed well at the box office. Additionally, “Warfare,” directed by Alex Garland and based on a real-life military mission, received praise from critics for its realistic portrayal of combat.
Despite facing competition from other new releases, “A Minecraft Movie” has maintained its dominance at the box office and is expected to continue to attract audiences in the coming weeks. With Easter approaching, films like “The King of Kings” are poised to capitalize on their appeal to Christian audiences. Overall, the success of “A Minecraft Movie” has injected new life into theaters and helped boost ticket sales after a slow start to the year.
