AceShowbiz - "A Minecraft Movie" continues to take the box office by storm, Following its record-breaking debut last week, the video game adaptation added an astounding $80 million in its second weekend, maintaining its number one spot since its release on April 4.

Made on a $150 million budget, the film starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa is now the highest-grossing movie of 2025, with a domestic gross of $281 million and a global total of $550 million. This surpasses major contenders like "Captain America: Brave New World".

Despite a 50% decline since its record-breaking $162.7 million debut weekend, "A Minecraft Movie" managed to latch on with moviegoers, particularly young audiences excited by big-budget video game adaptations. This success comes despite mixed reviews, with a 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a “B+” CinemaScore from audiences.

It follows four misfits who get pulled into the cubic wonderland of Overworld through a mysterious portal. To find their way home, they must master the terrain and embark on a magical quest featuring an unexpected crafter named Steve, played by Jack Black.

Memorable scenes, including a popular meme-worthy moment involving a "chicken jockey", have led to disruptions in cinemas. "To ensure everyone has the best possible cinema experience, we're increasing our monitoring of screens during performances]" - a spokesperson for REEL Cinema in Fareham, England, told Daily Echo.

The movie has not only dominated the box office but has also helped reinvigorate theaters after a slow start to the year. According to Comscore, overall ticket sales doubled compared to the same weekend in 2024.

Meanwhile, other films have struggled to keep pace. "The King of Kings" followed in a distant second with $19.1 million, and "The Amateur" came in third with $15 million. Universal's "Drop" and A24's "Warfare" also underperformed with $7.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

With its blend of action, adventure, and humor, "A Minecraft Movie" has not only become the highest-grossing film of the year but also a cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences around the globe.
