A Minecraft Movie has now become the first film this year to meet an important box office milestone. A Minecraft Movie cast includes Black, Jason Momoa, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Rachel House, and Jemaine Clement. Since releasing in theaters on April 4, the video game adaptation has been a huge hit. It has only been in theaters for one week but has already broken several records, and it seems that momentum will continue while going into the film's second week in theaters.
Per Deadline, A Minecraft Movie became the first 2025 release to make over $200 million domestically. It crossed this threshold after bringing in $7.1 million on Thursday and only being in theaters for just one week. It is expected that the domestic total will rise as the movie starts its second week in theaters despite new releases like Drop, Warfare, and The Amateur. Nevertheless, this is another major win for Warner Bros. considering their slow box office start, especially with Mickey 17 projected to lose some money for the studio.
While A Minecraft Movie is the first movie to meet this box office milestone, another film came quite close. The MCU movie, Captain America: Brave New World, brought in $199.4 million domestically, just missing the coveted $200 million benchmark. Making this milestone in just one week, however, the movie's box office pace puts it just behind The Super Mario Bros. movie, which brought in $200 million in just five days. This could be a great sign for A Minecraft Movie's theatrical future as it heads into its second weekend.
