A Minecraft Movie is already the fourth-biggest movie of the year after huge opening

The “Minecraft” film, having only been in theaters for a short while, is now ranked as the fourth most successful movie of the year.

On Friday, the blockbuster movie version of the world’s best-selling video game was released, raking in more than $300 million at cinemas worldwide.

Initially, it was thought that the movie would earn around $75 million during its first weekend, but instead, it surpassed all anticipations by a significant margin.

Moreover, not only has the movie climbed to the fourth spot on this year’s box office charts, but it is also rapidly approaching the earnings of “Captain America: Brave New World,” which stands at $410 million after an eight-week run.

As a gaming enthusiast, diving into the world of movies this year, I’ve been captivated by two standout hits that hail from the creative minds of China. The animated sensation, Ne Zha 2, has smashed records with an impressive $2 billion earnings, while the comedy-mystery Tang Tan 1900 has left audiences puzzled and entertained, racking up a cool $440 million!

Neither “Brave New World” nor “Tang Tan 1900” are significantly different from the earnings of “Minecraft” at the box office, but could Jack Black and Jason Momoa’s comedy potentially unseat “Ne Zha 2”?

The film, “The Super Mario Bros Movie,” has already earned an impressive $1.3 billion at the box office, making it a strong contender for becoming the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time. Unlike other movies that debut over three days, this Nintendo production saw a whopping $204.6 million in earnings spread across five days.

In a critique by Digital Spy on the film adaptation of Minecraft, we stated: “It may not meet every fan’s expectations if it doesn’t align with their preferred vision of Minecraft. However, director Jared Hess and his talented cast have constructed an amusing and sometimes goofy family adventure that surpasses initial anticipations.

Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Coolidge are some of the actors featured in this movie’s lineup.
