A Minecraft movie has taken the U.S. box office by storm, earning over $100 million in its opening weekend and securing the top film debut of 2025.

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have released a bold adaptation of the beloved video game, which premiered in 4,200 theatres. The film has outperformed both “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Five Nights at Freddy’s.”

Minecraft earned $10.55 million in its Thursday previews, surpassing Freddy’s previous record of $10.3 million. By Friday’s midday, the film’s earnings reached $50 million, with estimates continuing to rise.

“A Minecraft Movie” is targeting $70 million to $80 million in its domestic opening weekend.

Directed by Jared Hess, the film has a budget of $150 million and features a cast that includes Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, and Danielle Brooks. The story follows four quirky teens who are transported into Minecraft’s Overworld. They must use the game’s iconic mechanics to survive and find their way home. Global projections estimate the film’s debut will reach $150 million, indicating a substantial return on investment.

Critics have given it a lukewarm score of 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, but fans are fully supportive. PostTrak ratings show strong approval from Gen Z and families, buoyed by an impressive 772 million social media interactions and the star power of Jason Momoa, Black, and Myers, who collectively have 60 million followers.
