In just two weeks since its release, “A Minecraft Movie” has become the highest grossing Hollywood film of 2025, with over $550 million in worldwide ticket sales. Despite mixed reviews from critics and audiences, the film has resonated with moviegoers and helped rejuvenate the box office after a slow start to the year.
Other new releases during the same weekend, such as “The King of Kings,” “The Amateur,” “Warfare,” and “Drop,” did not come close to matching the success of “A Minecraft Movie.” “The King of Kings,” an animated film about the life of Jesus, performed well with an “A+” CinemaScore and is expected to do well leading up to Easter. “The Amateur,” a revenge thriller starring Rami Malek, debuted with $15 million domestically and $17.2 million overseas. “Warfare,” a realistic portrayal of combat, also received positive reviews but had a lower box office performance. “Drop,” a thriller about a single mom being terrorized, premiered at SXSW and had moderate success at the box office.
Overall, “A Minecraft Movie” has exceeded expectations and reinvigorated the movie industry, with box office revenues now on par with previous years. The success of this video game adaptation has set the stage for other potential blockbusters in the future.
