Jack Black and Jason Momoa are set to enhance their box office success with A Minecraft Movie, aiming to secure an additional million during its second weekend in North American theaters. The film, a highly anticipated adaptation of Mojang Studios’ beloved video game, concluded its opening weekend with an impressive 3 million from 4,263 locations across the continent. When combined with international earnings, the film’s global total soared past 3 million within just three days.
By Thursday, A Minecraft Movie had already surpassed the 0 million threshold domestically and is rapidly approaching the 0 million mark. The film continues to demonstrate its box office prowess, defying earlier projections for its second weekend. Initially estimated by Deadline to earn around million, the latest calculations suggest a more robust million take through Sunday.
This revised figure aligns closely with Box Office Pro’s upper estimates, which forecasted a weekend haul between million and million, as well as Variety’s predictions of a range from million to million for the film’s second frame.
‘The King Of Kings’ Leads The Five Newcomers Joining ‘A Minecraft Movie’ In Theaters
The anticipated second weekend figures for A Minecraft Movie are particularly noteworthy given the competition it faces from five new releases that debuted wide on Friday. Among these newcomers, Angel Studios’ animated biblical film, The King of Kings, is projected by Deadline to earn over million from 3,200 theaters, positioning it for a strong No. 2 finish at the domestic box office.
The King of Kings, inspired by Charles Dickens’ classic novel The Life of Our Lord, features Oscar Isaac as the voice of Jesus, alongside Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, with Kenneth Branagh and Uma Thurman lending their voices to Charles and Catherine Dickens, respectively.
In addition, the 20th Century Studios spy thriller The Amateur, starring Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne, is projected to earn around million from 3,400 venues this weekend. Meanwhile, director Alex Garland’s real-time fact-based Iraq War film, Warfare, is expected to generate approximately million from 2,670 theaters, while the mystery thriller Drop, featuring Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar, is anticipated to bring in .7 million from 3,085 theaters, securing a No. 5 finish.
Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most current numbers available. The final figures for this weekend’s box office will be released on Monday.
