A Minecraft Movie Closes in on $550 Million Globally, Challenging Mario's Box Office Crown

The Minecraft Movie is making waves at the box office as it approaches a monumental earnings milestone.

The film ‘A Minecraft Movie’ continues to generate significant revenue, having reached $552 million worldwide. This impressive box office performance places it on the verge of surpassing the Super Mario Bros. movie as the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time.

Since the film’s release, it has been near the top earners, having brought in $150 million during its opening weekend alone. The ongoing success suggests a trajectory that could challenge the Super Mario franchise’s dominance in the box office rankings.

Despite challenges in getting precise week-to-week financial updates from various global markets, domestically, A Minecraft Movie is trailing closely, having accumulated $278 million in its run thus far.

This phenomenon, originally a small indie game, has evolved into a significant worldwide brand, drawing noteworthy attention. With Warner Bros’ announcement of a potential sequel, the excitement surrounding the franchise continues to flourish.
