Box Office: ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Builds Big With $58 Million Opening Day — Largest of 2025
'A Minecraft Movie,' starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, started strong with the biggest opening day of 2025.
With a $150 million production budget, plus marketing and distribution costs, “A Minecraft Movie” has kicked-off strong and put itself in position for true blockbuster success. Mojang’s “Minecraft” was first released in 2011 and, after being ported across a litany of platforms, ranks as the best-selling video game of all time, aside from “Tetris.” Warner Bros. first started developing a film based on the lo-fi sandbox property in 2014; Legendary came on as a co-producer in 2022 and the banners got this PG-rated version directed by Jared Hess on track. Speaking of epic, Fathom Events is bowing its second package of episodes for “The Chosen: Last Supper” this weekend, looking to land in third place after earning $2.8 million across Friday and previews.
