A Minecraft Movie Surpasses $280 Million Box Office, Becomes 2025's Top Grossing Film

A Minecraft Movie has surged to become the biggest blockbuster of 2025, grossing $280.9 million domestically within just ten days of its release and surpassing Captain America: Brave New World. The film, directed by Jared Hess and featuring a star-studded cast including Jack Black and Jason Momoa, has become a cultural phenomenon, sparking audience participation trends like the 'Chicken Jockey' celebration in theaters. Despite receiving dismal reviews with a Rotten Tomatoes score of around 47%, it has garnered an impressive 87% audience rating, showcasing a disconnect between critical reception and box office success. The film's impressive performance has helped rejuvenate Warner Bros., which has faced challenges with previous releases. As A Minecraft Movie continues to dominate, it demonstrates the strong appetite for video game adaptations and how audience engagement can drive commercial success, irrespective of critical feedback. Its current global revenue stands at $550.6 million, marking a significant achievement for the franchise.
