Box Office Potential and Sequel Talks
Following its impressive box office performance, there remains a possibility that A Minecraft Movie could become the first Hollywood release of the year to reach the billion mark. This achievement would further solidify its status as a blockbuster hit.
While Warner Bros. has not officially greenlit a sequel, hints within the film’s credit scene suggest exciting developments ahead. Director Jared Hess has shared that discussions about a follow-up have already taken place. “We had so much fun making this movie, and it’s such an expansive world in the game,” he remarked shortly after the film’s release. “There were so many things that we didn’t tap into that we wanted to. I would have a blast doing the sequel, and it seems like there’s already talk about it happening, so I’m super excited. It’ll be so much fun to go back into the world. The fans are just having such a good time.”
As it stands, A Minecraft Movie is currently screening in theaters and is available for purchase or rental in the US. UK audiences can look forward to its digital release on 19 May.
