Recently, the much-anticipated A Minecraft Movie debuted in theaters, and its popularity this weekend has been remarkable. The film has generated substantial revenue during its opening weekend alone. Now that the weekend has concluded, we can assess its financial performance, and it is truly impressive.
A Minecraft Movie has grossed $157 million at the U.S. box office this weekend, with a total of $301 million globally. This achievement positions the film as the highest-grossing opening for a video game adaptation in the United States. Previously, the record was held by The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A sequel to the Mario film has already been confirmed, giving Nintendo a chance to reclaim the title, although it won’t release until next year. For the time being, A Minecraft Movie retains the top spot.
