A Minecraft Movie has shattered box office records, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie to claim the title of the biggest domestic debut for a video game adaptation. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the latter of whom also featured in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, A Minecraft Movie raked in an impressive $157 million in North American theaters alone. This exceeds the $146 million that The Super Mario Bros. Movie earned during its opening weekend in April 2023, although it still holds the record as the highest-grossing video game adaptation to date.

Internationally, A Minecraft Movie added another $144 million, bringing its global opening weekend total to a staggering $301 million. With a production budget of $150 million before marketing costs, the film may already be in the black for Warner Bros.

A Minecraft Movie is inspired by Mojang's Minecraft, the best-selling video game ever. Owned by Microsoft, this sandbox game remains incredibly popular worldwide and has released movie tie-in DLC to enhance the film's launch.

IGN rated A Minecraft Movie a 6/10, stating: "Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess infuses A Minecraft Movie with a surprisingly specific and humorous comic twist, particularly in its less frenetic first half."

On another note, Disney's live-action Snow White is facing potential disaster at the box office after a lackluster opening weekend. It has earned $168.4 million globally, with $77.5 million domestically and $90.9 million internationally. Given its hefty $250 million production budget, a miraculous recovery akin to that of Mufasa: The Lion King seems unlikely.
