'Minecraft Movie' Tops Box Office with $550 Million Worldwide

The animated film 'A Minecraft Movie' continues to dominate the box office, earning an estimated $80.6 million in its second weekend and reaching a global total of $550 million. This achievement makes it the most successful video game adaptation in history and brings overall box office revenue for the year in line with last year's performance. Following in second place is Angel Studios' 'The King of Kings,' which opened to $19 million, benefiting from a strategic release before Easter and offering free admission for children with paying adults. Meanwhile, Disney's 'The Amateur' debuted with a solid $15 million, while the war drama 'Warfare' and horror film 'Drop' struggled with lower earnings. The box office results highlight a resurgence in family-friendly and faith-based films, with both genres performing well during this period. The success of these films indicates a potential shift in audience preferences towards uplifting and relatable storytelling.
