Box Office: ‘Minecraft’ Scores $80 Million in Massive Second Weekend


"A Minecraft Movie" scored $80 million in its second weekend of release and remained at No. 1 at the box office as five new movies opened nationwide.

Hollywood is looking at upcoming releases like Ryan Coogler’s R-rated “Sinners,” Marvel’s “Thunderbolts,” Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” and Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” remake to close the deficit — and eventually propel year-to-date earnings ahead of 2024. Part of the draw for younger ticket buyers was “Warfare’s” ensemble, a who’s who of up-and-comers, includes D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (“Reservation Dogs”), Will Poulter (“We’re the Millers”), Cosmo Jarvis (“Shogun”), Joseph Quinn (“A Quiet Place Day One”), Kit Connor (“Heartstopper”), Noah Centineo (“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”), Michael Gandolfini (“The Many Saints of Newark”) and Charles Melton (“May December”). From “Freaky” director Christopher Landon, “Drops” follows a widowed mom named Violet (“The White Lotus” breakout Meghann Fahy) who receives mysterious phone messages while she’s on a first date with Henry (Brandon Sklenar from “It Ends With Us”).
