— Variety (@Variety) April 6, 2025
A Minecraft Movie cleaned up at the box office this weekend, collecting $157 million after projections of $70 to $90 million. Internationally, it made another $144 million, bringing in a first weekend total of $301 million on a $150 million production budget. This is a major success for Warner Bros, who have stumbled at the box office as of late.
The film not only has the biggest opening of 2025, but the biggest opening for a video game adaptation ever, beating the $146 million haul of 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
A Working Man collected $7.2 million for second place, while TV show The Chosen: Last Supper – Part 2 came in third with $6.7 million.
Snow White brought in $6 million for fourth place, while The Woman in the Yard pulled in $4.5 million for fifth place.
In its first weekend of release, Neon’s Hell of a Summer opened to $1.75 million on a $3 million budget.
