A Minecraft Movie in its opening weekend shattered expectations earning over $300 million and breaking records.

The movie has continued to perform well as the global box office through two weekends has surpassed $550 million, according to The-Numbers.

A Minecraft Movie is now the second highest grossing video game based movie of all time trailing only The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed $1.36 billion.

A Minecraft Movie had a production budget of $150 million before you add marketing costs. A movie usually needs to earn 2-2.5 times the production budget to break even at the box office.

Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all-time with over 300 million units sold as of October 2023.
