Minecraft Movie Surpasses Super Mario Bros. with Record Video Game Film Debut
The Minecraft Movie has shattered box office records, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie to claim the title of the largest domestic debut for a video game adaptation. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, who also featured in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, this Xbox game adaptation raked in an impressive $157 million at North American theaters. Comparatively, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, still holding the record as the highest-grossing video game adaptation, opened with $146 million domestically back in April 2023.
Globally, A Minecraft Movie added another $144 million from international markets, achieving a worldwide opening weekend total of $301 million. With a production cost of $150 million, excluding marketing expenses, the film may already be in the black for Warner Bros.
A Minecraft Movie draws its inspiration from Mojang's Minecraft, the best-selling video game ever created. Owned by Microsoft, this sandbox game continues to captivate players worldwide and features movie tie-in DLC to enhance the film's launch excitement.IGN awarded A Minecraft Movie a 6/10 score in its review, noting that "Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess infuses A Minecraft Movie with a distinctive and humorous comic flair, particularly in the more subdued first half of the kid-friendly adventure."
For those who have seen the movie, IGN offers an in-depth explanation of A Minecraft Movie's Ending and Post-Credits Scene with insights from Director Jared Hess and Minecraft's Torfi Frans Ólafsson.
On the other hand, Disney's live-action adaptation of Snow White appears headed for box office disappointment. After a lackluster opening weekend, it has grossed $168.4 million globally, with $77.5 million from domestic audiences and $90.9 million internationally. Given its hefty $250 million production budget, a miraculous recovery akin to Mufasa: The Lion King seems unlikely.
