Jack Black and Jason Momoa’s A Minecraft Movie has officially concluded its theatrical run, leaving behind an impressive financial footprint. The film, inspired by the beloved Minecraft video game from Mojang Studios, made its debut in theaters on April 4 and transitioned to digital streaming through premium video on demand on May 13. Subsequently, it became available on Warner Bros. Discovery’s HBO Max platform starting June 20.
In a remarkable turn of events, A Minecraft Movie surpassed industry expectations during its opening weekend, amassing nearly 3 million from Friday to Sunday. The film sparked a viral sensation on TikTok, particularly due to its exuberant “Chicken Jockey” scene, which captivated audiences and ignited a wave of enthusiasm in theaters.
Initially, theater owners expressed concerns about the exuberance of moviegoers, but the situation evolved positively. One theater chain even embraced the chaos by hosting special “Chicken Jockey” screenings, encouraging the lively atmosphere.
According to box office tracker The Numbers, the film’s final day in theaters was July 2, where it garnered ,980 from 46 screens, culminating in a domestic total of 3,949,195. When combined with international ticket sales of 1,200,000, A Minecraft Movie achieved a remarkable worldwide gross of 5,149,195.
It’s important to note that this impressive figure represents the gross earnings of A Minecraft Movie, not its net profit. The film had a production budget of 0 million, as reported by The Numbers, which, along with marketing expenses—details of which remain undisclosed—will impact the overall profitability. Additionally, the studio is obligated to share a portion of the box office revenue with theater owners and cover residuals and other associated costs.
