A Minecraft Movie was released last year this week. Directed by Jared Hess, it is based on the 2011 video game. Despite initial negative reaction from its teaser and receiving mixed reviews, it grossed $424.1M Dom & $960.4M WW, becoming the 2nd highest grossing video game film of all time.

Never forget the Chicken Jockey trend on Social media where teens recorded the theaters of the Chicken Jockey scene including one video that shows a live actual chicken
Imagine this particular weekend having to be your first day as a theater worker because of:
This movie having the biggest domestic opening weekend last year ($162 million) was not on my bingo card. If you had told me that at the beginning, I would’ve called you insane and laughed. And who knows if it’ll still be the highest grossing domestic film of 2025 (thankfully *Zootopia 2* outgrossed it).
The only good thing about the *Minecraft* movie is that it kicked off a great year for Warner Bros., with seven films in a row opening to $40 million+.

Moana 2026 will be a repeat of this. Looks like shit, trailer gets ratio’ed, but still makes a billion
If any movie deserved a billion it was this movie. What a blast. Better than zootopia even
This movie will soon fall to 3rd place on the video game movie list once Mario hits the $1B mark. But this was very impressive and it even opened higher than both Mario movies! 😅
One of the few movies of last year that I could actually hear chatter about it irl. Probably cause target demo, but still it points to the popularity of the IP
Kirsten Dunst saying that she’d love to star in a sequel just to make a lot of money in an interview last year only to end up getting cast in the sequel was so fucking funny. Queen of manifestation!

It was the highest-grossing film of 2025 domestically until Zootopia 2 finally passed it. And Zootopia 2 passed it worldwide easily. Mario Galaxy Movie will pass Minecraft Movie domestically and worldwide.
