In just a few days millions of people had flocked to the theaters to witness what has become the second highest-grossing movie in 2025, bringing in $351 million in worldwide ticket sales. out competing giants like “Snow White” and “Dog Man” in worldwide income, “A Minecraft Movie” became an instant success.
“A Minecraft Movie” has received record breaking income for a movie video game adaptation, surpassing the Super Mario Bros Movie, which was the most successful video game adaptation until “A Minecraft Movie” beat it in almost all metrics this spring. In a poll sent out to the school this month, some students wanted to give their opinion on the movie.

This is not the only issue that the theaters faced, popcorn buckets saw themselves thrown across the theater, drinks were thrown that drenched innocent bystanders, and in one instance a real chicken was hurled across the theater.
The rowdy crowd was a point of contention with many people who wanted to buy tickets deciding not to. Many were warned not to go during opening week because of these reasons.
The Minecraft movie is not just a hotbed for turmoil, the many quick and witty one liners brought humor to the movie that anyone can understand even if not familiar with the game itself. The expansive world brought a sense of adventure, giving you the sense of a world with infinite possibilities. Following the characters was humorous and brought a sense of community to such a large world. Black and Momoa really brought the movie together, the playful energy of Black accompanied with the swagger of Momoa created a perfect duo for a movie that will become a timeless piece of this generation.
The Minecraft Movie is more than just a movie; a game that is a massive part of our generation made into a movie that brings all of us together in one area to horse around. not often is it that something reflects a core part of anyone’s childhood and this is especially relevant with Gen Z. Gen X had “Star Wars” and millenials had Disney; “Minecraft” is unique to our generation, a movie where much of us have experienced first hand in a world that bring people together. I highly recommend everyone to go see this movie in theaters, you won’t regret it.
