Minecraft movie has made over $550m so far

Box Office Success Amid Mixed Reviews

The recent release of the Minecraft movie has proven to be a remarkable success at the box office, amassing over 0 million globally. According to reports from Deadline, the film has generated approximately 1 million in the domestic market within the United States, complemented by an impressive 9.6 million from international audiences.

Interestingly, this financial triumph comes despite the film receiving rather lukewarm reviews from critics. However, it appears to have struck a chord with younger viewers, many of whom are flocking to theaters, particularly drawn by the viral Chicken Jockey meme scene that has captivated the imagination of children and tweens alike.

In its opening weekend, the Minecraft film made a notable debut, bringing in 3 million—a figure that has since seen a significant increase as audiences continue to engage with the film. The game, which serves as the foundation for the movie, launched on April 4th, further fueling interest and attendance.

Mary Parent, chair of Legendary Entertainment, shared her thoughts on the film’s cultural impact following its opening weekend. “When we make films, we all hope they will connect with the culture,” she remarked. “But when they do, they take on a life of their own. It’s like lighting dynamite.”
