‘A Minecraft Movie’ is on track for a $135M opening weekend
The big screen adaptation of video game mega-franchise Minecraft brought in $58 million on Friday, putting it on-track for a $135 million opening weekend
“The Super Mario Brothers Movie” was one of the biggest hits of 2023 (behind only “Barbie”), and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” was a major success over the recent winter holidays. The Minecraft game, first developed by Marcus “Notch” Persson and acquired by Microsoft in 2014, has a massive audience, with 204 million monthly active users in December. “A Minecraft Movie”’s big weekend is also welcome news for Warner Bros., whose film division has endured a string of flops including “The Alto Knights” and “Joker: Folie a Deux.” So it’s probably safe to assume we’ll be seeing a sequel.
