Box Office: ‘Minecraft’ Is Already the Second-Biggest Movie of the Year With $301 Million in Global Debut
After three days of release, "A Minecraft Movie" is already the second-highest grossing film of the year behind "Captain America: Brave New World."
“ A Minecraft Movie ” landed on the big screen as an instant (and surprise) blockbuster smash with $301 million globally, providing Hollywood and cinema owners with a much-needed box office boost. “Minecraft” has been one of the few recent Hollywood blockbusters that hasn’t flopped China, already ranking as the the biggest non-local film of 2025 as well as the country’s highest-grossing video game adaptation of the past five years over “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Uncharted” and “Sonic the Hedgehog.” “A Minecraft Movie” should reinvigorate the box office after a lousy start to 2025 with disappointments that range from franchise fare such as “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Snow White” to original swings like “Mickey 17” and “The Alto Knights.” Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” looks to kick off summer blockbuster season in May with “Superman,” “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” and “Lilo & Stitch” among the other Hollywood offerings that hope to keep shrinking this year’s box office deficit.
