A Minecraft Movie has shattered box office records, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie to claim the title of the biggest domestic debut for a video game adaptation. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the latter of whom also appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, A Minecraft Movie raked in an impressive $157 million in North America alone. This figure outstripped The Super Mario Bros. Movie's opening weekend haul of $146 million in April 2023, despite the latter still holding the record as the highest-grossing video game adaptation to date.

Internationally, A Minecraft Movie added another $144 million, culminating in a global opening weekend total of $301 million. With a production budget of $150 million before marketing expenses, the film appears to be on a profitable trajectory for Warner Bros.

A Minecraft Movie is inspired by Mojang's Minecraft, recognized as the best-selling video game ever. Owned by Microsoft, this sandbox game continues to be a global favorite and has introduced movie tie-in DLC to leverage the film's release.

IGN's review of A Minecraft Movie scored it a 6/10, noting that "Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess injects a unique and humorous twist into the kid-friendly adventure of A Minecraft Movie, particularly shining in the more subdued first half of the film."

In other news, Disney's live-action Snow White is facing potential box office disappointment. With global earnings at $168.4 million ($77.5 million domestically and $90.9 million internationally) and a hefty $250 million production budget, the film may struggle to replicate the unexpected success of Mufasa: The Lion King.
