Warner Bros.' A Minecraft Movie has impressively crossed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office. Directed by Jared Hess and starring Jack Black, this video game adaptation has continued its triumphant run into its second weekend, inching closer to the coveted $1 billion milestone. The film has earned $278,864,857 domestically and $273,800,000 internationally, summing up to a global total of $552,664,857, according to Box Office Mojo.
The success of A Minecraft Movie was uncertain until just before its release when fans eagerly embraced certain lines from the trailers, particularly those spoken by Jack Black's character, Steve. Memorable quotes like "I... am Steve," "Flint and Steel," and "Chicken Jockey" have taken social media by storm. Despite receiving a 6/10 rating from critics, its viral meme status has significantly contributed to its box office success.
The film's theatrical run has been a groundbreaking triumph, with opening weekend audiences turning into fervent fans. The internet is now flooded with videos showcasing the explosive reactions in theaters, with audiences screaming, throwing popcorn, and in one notable case, bringing a live chicken to the screening. The fervor around Mojang's hit game adaptation has escalated to such heights that Jack Black even helped a theater prepare for the frenzy.

With its latest box office figures, A Minecraft Movie has surpassed other notable video game adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Pokémon Detective Pikachu, and Uncharted. The only film it has yet to overtake is Nintendo and Illumination's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which concluded its run with over $1.36 billion worldwide, as reported by Box Office Mojo.
Although A Minecraft Movie still has a way to go to challenge the box office dominance of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it has already exceeded its opening weekend numbers. If this momentum persists, A Minecraft Movie could soon claim the top spot among video game movie adaptations.
