The Minecraft Movie has shattered box office records, surpassing The Super Mario Bros. Movie to claim the title of the biggest domestic debut for a video game adaptation. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, with the latter reprising his role from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, A Minecraft Movie raked in an impressive $157 million in North America during its opening weekend. This figure eclipses the $146 million domestic opening of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in April 2023, which still holds the record as the highest-grossing video game adaptation to date.
Internationally, A Minecraft Movie added another $144 million, bringing its global opening weekend total to a staggering $301 million. With a production budget of $150 million, excluding marketing costs, the film may have already turned a profit for Warner Bros.
Based on Mojang's Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time, A Minecraft Movie taps into the enduring popularity of the Microsoft-owned sandbox game. To further engage fans, the movie comes with special tie-in DLC for the game.
IGN's review of A Minecraft Movie awarded it a 6/10, praising director Jared Hess for infusing the film with a unique and humorous take on the kid-friendly adventure, particularly in the first half.

On the other hand, Disney's live-action Snow White has faced a disappointing opening weekend, pulling in only $168.4 million globally, split between $77.5 million domestically and $90.9 million internationally. With a hefty $250 million production budget, the film's prospects for a Mufasa: The Lion King-style comeback appear slim.
