I knew it was gonna be near a billy once it was announced. All these so called movie youtube experts predicted flop.

I saw the horrible trailer and said it'll be fine because the special effects were excellent.

Why? one word... MINECRAFT.

One of the best selling games of all time that kids STILL paly kids 10 years apart still play it every day. They have clubs and classes even at the library. And especially during covid It became a staple. Theaters were so out after school time and weekend. These kids LOVED this movie.

Number 2? Kids Families. No one wanted to accept what I been telling them for YEARS. Most of these things aint for YOU. They for THEM. FAMILIES is the money. I had to take 3 kids to this thing and now I gotta take another group this weekend. And they had to by merchandise and went home and played the game.

It was horrible but it wasn't good. But it served its purpose. I didn't fall asleep. I laughed. and hearing and seeing those happy kids was enough.

  • A Minecraft Movie took the top spot again at the weekend box office, making it the most profitable film of the year so far after it surpassed Captain America: Brave New World.
  • The Warner Bros. big-screen video game adaptation also left its competition in the dust at the global box office, grossing $160 million in its second week.
  • Animated Christian film The King of Kings, The Amateur, A24's Iraq War actioner Warfare, and the mysterious new Meghann Fahy thriller Drop round out the weekend's top five.
Meet your new box office king, 2025: A Minecraft Movie charged toward a stellar second week atop the box office following its explosive premiere, earning $80.6 million for a total domestic gross of $280.9 million.


Last weekend's $157 million open earned the film several titles: Warner Bros.' big-screen video game adaptation became 2025's most profitable premiere, Warners' largest opening weekend since 2023, and the second-most profitable video game adaptation debut of all time, behind 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie.


The adventure-comedy starring Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Danielle Brooks, and Jack Black has now earned its most prestigious distinction: 2025's highest-grossing movie domestically. A Minecraft Movie has already outgrossed Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World at the domestic box office, which premiered way back on Feb. 14 and still hasn't been made available as a digital release (but is due to stream as VOD on Tuesday).

A Minecraft Movie dropped 50 percent in its second week of release, but still well within range to maintain confidence that the film will continue to be a big earner. The film also won the top spot at the global box office this weekend, taking in $160.2 million for a total gross of $550.5 million.


The rest of the domestic leaderboard pales in comparison to the mighty Minecraft Movie, but that the rest of the top five is composed of premieres is notable. Christian outfit Angel Studios' starry animated Biblical epic, The King of Kings, takes second place with $19 million. Third goes to the Rami Malek political thriller from 20th Century Studios, The Amateur, which earned an even $15 million against its $60 million budget.

Rounding out in fourth and fifth are A24's Iraq War thriller Warfare, which stars virtually every it-boy of the past decade and debuted to $8.3 million, and the Universal thriller Drop, which debuted to $7.5 million and gave star Meghann Fahy her first try at big-screen stardom following her breakout role on The White Lotus season 2.


The global picture looks much the same as its domestic counterpart this weekend. A Minecraft Movie left its competition in the dust for a second week running, with The Amateur and The King of Kings swapping for second and third place. The former film grossed an impressive $32.2 million at the global box office, with Jang Seong-ho's strange Charles Dickens adaptation grossing $19.6 million.


Replacing Warfare altogether in the top five is the Tamil action-comedy Good Bad Ugly, starring Indian superstar Ajith Kumar. That film earned the fourth spot on the global box office chart with a $16.7 million global debut, followed by Drop, which grossed $10 million globally.

The film to watch in next weekend's box office race is Sinners, the new film from Ryan Coogler. Still riding high off the uber-successful Black Panther films, Coogler tries his hand at a new genre with the horror film Sinners. The film stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twins who return to their hometown in the Prohibition-era South only to find it infested with ravenous vampires.


Coogler praised Jordan's "beautiful performance" to Entertainment Weekly in January, with Jordan adding, "Playing twins was definitely a challenge. It was part of the reason why I wanted to take the role."


If blood, guts, and fangs aren't your speed, next weekend's releases also include down-to-Earth Carey Mulligan comedy The Ballad of Wallis Island and Andrew Ahn's remake of Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet, starring Lily Gladstone, Bowen Yang, and Kelly Marie Tran.
